A real task, with real life people inside and not a vaccine in sight... What a treat!!

North End Foodbank is becoming North End Pantry which called for a face lift to the entrance area and the stairs. I wasn't sure we'd get it all done but I forgot about the GoodGym team superpowers and everywhere has had a first coat.

Vicki took a break from painting at home to paint in a church instead and ended up lying on the stairs to paint the skirting. Sarah did the taller jobs and had to get on the step ladder to give the upper walls their paint. India rode her nice new bike to the church and I managed to get paint on me by leaning on a bit of wall I'd already painted (why do I always do this?).

Tonight we learned about India putting her bike in the loft, Vicki's sausage casserole & sloe gin (Judy didn't get ALL the sloes at Great Salterns!) and Sarah's requirements for a partner. We didn't get as far as writing her dating app profile, maybe next time!
