Oxford Mutual Aid has obviously had a busy week so far and so when our quartet of GoodGymers turned up on Saturday afternoon the shelves were looking quite depleted. We made it our first task to do a thorough restock of the cans and dry goods, before moving through to the kitchen to check over the fresh produce for anything on the turn. After that we cleaned fridges, shelved the baked goods donation, swept and mopped the hall floor, took out the large pile of recycling, unpacked and put away some Christmas gift donations and took in some deliveries (intriguingly addressed to Dr O M Aid!).

The hour and a half swept by reminiscing about the days when travel was possible, sharing our (lack of) Christmas plans, and addressing the ever-puzzling question of what on earth does one buy an adult male as a Christmas gift? A lovely afternoon of camaraderie.
