We made our way in the heat to the Vineyard Church, where they had building works done which had left a fine layer of dust all over the furniture in their congregation hall. It turned out to be a great task for social distancing. Ben hoovered the chairs while I wiped the dust off the legs. Yvette had invited her friend and they made a great team as they switched roles. It looked like a tough task to complete at first, but after two hours of cleaning we had cleaned all of the chairs and put them back neatly where they started. With the hoovers going all the way through, it wasn’t the easiest of tasks to chat through, but it was great to meet Yvette for the first time nonetheless. As we left, we found that we had missed the big downpour while we were working together inside.
