That's enough of the business

Last night 17 runners ran 6km to clean the toddler toys at the Salvation Army in Camberwell. It was lovely to see Janet, the task owner again, who we last visited to help put together food parcels for Christmas.

'New Year same old toddler toys' - Janet

We've done this task several times before - we efficiently split up to take the toys out of the cupboard, line them up for cleaning and get to work. The clean toys were then reorganised as they went back into the cupboard and tables were put down and away. In 30 minutes we had cleaned every single item in the cupboard and put it back. Janet was thrilled!

Havin' a duck-duck-goos-in good time

Before leaving, we played a round of duck duck goose. We started off doing this from sitting down and then realised that we're not quite as springy as we once were and instead we held a squat in a circle whilst 'It' went around. It turns out duck duck goose is quite a tense game! The game was won to much cheering and applause, and we went to get water and biscuits from Janet (well earned).
