Another mattress and duvet shifting community mission in the bag. Our full compliment of six arrived in good time and waited patiently for the van, catching up on life, GoodGym and running while we waited and chatting with the shelter volunteers who reported that they'd had a successful event the previous week, housing 8 homeless people for the night.

They'd also had the good sense to keep a parking space available for the van with traffic cones which also caused one parent arriving to drop of the kids for a dance class to just park their car in the middle of the road and cause a wee traffic disruption.

Then the van arrived and we got our shift on armed with duvets and mattress which were moved inside and onto the stage in the hall in no time at all. Pulling the curtains to provide some cover and discourage the young dancers from having a kip half way through their class, we were done and headed off into the weekend.

Nifty indeed!
