A touch of glass!

The Lohana centre was the venue tonight for 10 GoodGym regulars to go down and give the windows another cleaning.

Original plan was to do the outside as well, which we did to an extent but the ledges were a bit unsafe and we only had one long reach sponge which Nicola magicked up from somewhere!

It was a steady jog alomg the Grand Union and down into Belgrave with a speedy group of Jim, Lindsay Stu and Elaine leading the way.

Frank and Nicola seemed to be having a good chat in the middle and I brought up the tail with Ben.

We arrived on time at the Lohana - our task owner Nilesh was only able to stick around for a short time (he had been there all day apparently) and we seemed to have plenty of cloths but only one bottle of cleaner. A quick word with the caretaker and more appeared. The group set to.

As it turned out the windows were still pretty clean from last time so people busied themselves with other tidying tasks. Lee had joined us direct at site due to a knee injury and he and Ben did some sweeping. Mel as ever was on hand to take photos.

As the task dried up it was on to the main event of the night! - no not the fitness task, the ice creams!!!

We did do a fitness task - its the law, we must do something to get the heartrate up - so it was 4 x 60 secs fast running with equal rest breaks. Frank took on the mantle of timekeeper usually calling time when his body said it was time rather than his watch - ha ha - much to the delight of the group. Notwithstanding, the group did 4 reps then another for luck.

By this time we were nearly back so we made a small diversion to the nearest purveyor of Ice Cream. Based on an idea floated by Nicola I promised an ice cream to anyone who worked hard tonight and as ever that was everyone.

The group were very kind - advising me, the worlds worst shopper, how to save money by buying the multipacks. I just wanted to be sure everyone had what they wanted but as it turned out the Tesco's own "Magnums" and "Cornettos" were just the ticket.

We had a leisurely walk back to base cooling down our muscles with the walk and our tongues with the ice cream - some wag mentioned cake for next week!!!
