To Infinity and Beyond!

That's how it felt tonight! This is a task we have done at the Nuns Moor Centre a few times before ... but that was pre-pandemic, on group runs, with about twenty GoodGymers. Tonight there were three of us!

This is the perfect time to panic!

Fortunately, our lovely task owner Alyson had brought some friends, Mariel, Sue and Anne. With Krishti, Aimee and I we all got straight to work. The task is simple - empty the cupboard, clean the toys, put the toys back in the cupboard. Alyson organised us all excellently so we definitely didn't hear anyone saying

Don't tell me what to do!

We weren't at all sure if we'd get everything done.

Well then, let's find out together!

Did I hear someone ask

Are we gonna do this all night?

Of course, we should have had faith! I mean, this is GoodGym! Admittedly it took a little longer than the allotted time but it was very satisfying to see the beautifully organised cupboard, full of clean toys ... and a very large pile of used antiseptic wipes!

I knew you were right all along, never doubted you for a second!

Great team work and a job well done!
(P.s. congratulations to Krishti on achieving ten tasks and joining the Task Force!
