It was hot work at the food bank this afternoon!

Rachel took charge of the kitchen sort out, reorganising the fruit and veg, disposing of several loads of rather smelly melons, bananas and assorted vegetables, and cleaning some filthy crates.

Meanwhile, Rachael chilled; sorting precooked meals into cool boxes for delivery drivers, packing the 'chill' items for Emergency food parcels, putting away returned cool boxes, and finding fridge space for oodles of noodles.

Our re-stocker extraordinaire Zoe replenished the hall shelves, unearthing even more noodles and hundreds of tortilla wraps in the process.

Jocasta and I packed the non-chill items for Emergency food parcels then flitted around aiding and abetting the others.

Final flurries included bin emptying, sweeping the floors and breaking down cardboard boxes for recycling. **We even had time for baklava and chat in the sunshine to belatedly celebrate Rachael's 50th Good Deed.
