Welcome to first timers James, Miranda, Anja and Annatt tonight.

What should you do when a task is cancelled? That was our debate this evening.

A few suggestions:

  • Break in and do it anyway
  • Seed bombing (go and chuck a load of wild flower seeds in areas that you think need it)
  • Guerilla knitting (knit stuff and hang it round trees and lamposts to make them look nicer)
  • Do what we did anyway...

What did we do? We went over to Emirates for an evening of fitness fun. We got involved with "progressive letter running", "letter fartlek", "nine-team three-person continuous visualisation relay", both upper- and lower-body workouts and finished off with a massive game of secret surges.

Phew. Makes those tasks seem easy.

Alix is making sweet treats next week. See you there,
Simon

You need to visit the Emirates for this to make sense. It's just running
