Taking the Pistachio

For one reason or another we had missed out on running to help out at the Foodbank for what felt like ages! With the weather nice and toasty and beautiful sunshine in the sky, those of us with fair skin were looking forward to sheltering indoors in the safety of the Foodbank warehouse...only to realise that it was warmer in there than on the mean street of Boscombe!

We had Sean back on our side after a spying mission to GoodGym Poole...(I'm joking!!!) ...I'm surprised he came back really! He won't say it of course but I know he missed us....and we missed him!

Andrew surprised us at the last possible second and then was elated to find out that the Foodbank task was still on! Marianne was back after taking some sensible time off to rest her knee, and was rewarded by it feeling much better this week

Caprice has suffered from a niggle in her foot so took last week off, super missed us and was back again this week back marking like the legend that she is.

It was also great to have Chris and Becca back after a near miss last week!

After introduction and finding out everyone's favourite flavour of ice creams....most voted were Mint Chocolate Chip (4) and Pistachio (4). Mint Choc was winning until we met up with Amber and she added her vote to Pistachio on our way back!

Alex was super happy to see us and had quite a few jobs for us to do. Hannah, Amber and Marianne went to sort through baby clothes donations and managed to strike some great poses along the way. Becca and Chris had to bring up empty crates from downstairs and stack them back in the right places and then set about sorting through donations on their first visit to the Foodbank.

Andrew led the cardboard box recycling effort and the rest of the gang got into making food parcels and sorting through donations. They managed to make up

11 PARCELS

weighed them, Neil breaking the machine, and then stacking them on a shelf ready to be collected in the next few days. After 30 minutes our time was up and we had to make our way back to Flirt the most direct route to try and shave some time off the clock and get there before 8pm.

Lovely evening for a run, helping another great organisation and hanging out with friends! Next week we're hoping to do a little more gardening so come along!
