Look on the white side
3 GoodGymers made their way to help the Age Concern Windsor in Windsor and Maidenhead.
- Thursday, 10th of October 2024
- Led by Mandy Driver
Tonight GoodGym Windsor πwe were back at the Spencer Denney Centre for Age Concern.
Getting there:- Jen walked from The Binoy. Mandy walked from home Adam drove as he had a long journey afterwards.
The task owner Rachel showed us the room we were needed for to repaint the ceiling in the IT room white for a freshen up.
After a few logistic discussions, masking up the edges, stirring the paint, placing dust covers strategically we got on the dance music and settled into painting our chosen ceiling zones being careful to not leave any gaps and not get white drips on the previously painted walls. Twas a bit tricky!
As we got going the chat started, discussing subjects from strange films to sick days from work π€£ not sure how we linked these subjects but we did π€£
Jen did a bit of face painting π€£ Adam was as precise as ever ππΌand Mandy not quite a precise π¬but we made good progress in our little trio. We patched up a few areas of the wall as well but were a tad worried as it looked a much darker than the current colour π¬ fingers crossed it dries lighter π€π»
Jen started to wash the brushes and trays while Adam and Mandy did the last bit so we had completed half the ceiling by the end of the session which was good going in the time we had.
We had a bit of a chat with the task owner before leaving.
Then we nearly forgot the Windsor curtsy and bow π±as we were too busy discussing chocolate choices as Adam had kindly brought some for Mandy β₯οΈπ« yummy π
We said goodbyes and made our separate ways home including Adam who is off to Wales!
Thank you for helping πππ»ππΌββοΈππ»ββοΈ
