If It Pain't Baroque... Fix It

The unlucky number of 13 rolled up yesterday, our favourite Primary School needed some help painting a wall.

Many of our core group were sadly unavailable last night, unfortunately all at once, hope to have your energy back next week, you were missed. We did welcome back Suraj and Paula for their third run, very useful team players to have.

We recycled our random question this week, sure we've done it before, but a classic doesn't go bad."what's your favourite home cooked meal?" Lasagna came up twice, boxing day lunch bonanza with cold meats, chorizo and chicken, mama's home cooked tomato pasta, a rich broth, cottage pie, mama's dosa, papa's yorkshire puds and Nepalese dumplings from a place in Stratford that turns into an eastern european club at night. Hey, London does multiculturalism its own way.

1.5 miles to the school, met by Paul, who was on crutches after tweaking his knee. Ouch. He's out of The Big Half, but expect him to be bringing some noise road side. For those of you who not doing it, consider going out for a jog and giving your team mates a shout. They/we'd love it.

I'm personally super impressed/proud of the amount of mileage and training happening at GGN at the mo. So many of you are signed up to a race, dabbling in the unknown, getting faster and fitter...it's a real pleasure to see.

We made it back for a wee stretch. No pub pints this week, as Graham wasn't there gesticulating repetitively, so much power in one man's hand. Next week we make a return visit to the theatre, where the team were victorious last week in the quiz. Beat those geeky kids and all. Ace.

There is a talk of a parkrun in Highbury, 20 mins from Stratford on the overground, we'll move that over to whatsapp.

Have an ace week and see you all soon!
