Tonight was round two of our task to help Artful Hub with their unit makeover. We had already helped move all the items from their previous unit and given the walls a lick of paint. So now all that was left was to give a walls another coat to keep them warm!

With a smaller group, Nimi, Harsha, Hina and I met at Sainsbury's/Tesco’s and then made our way into Slough Town. With a Starry night above us we all had the 'when you gotta Van Gogh ya gotta Van Gogh' vibe tonight! En route we collected Agnie to make the famous five!

On arrival, we called for security to let us into the precinct (hoping not to see Mr Rat again!).

And that's when the real fun began.

Moving displays, putting out sheets, getting brushes and rollers ready for the task.

We improvised with the kit we had and made rollers fit the handles …. sometimes you have to blend the rules though and us pirates love arrrr-t (you had to be there to know this joke!)

  • Painting to perfection we were lucky to have a skilled painter decorator Agnie with us tonight. She did an amazing job!

  • Hina joined us in her first task and soon got the hang of the GoodGym gang!

  • Nimi was all fired up to paint like Picasso

  • Whilst Harsha was chilled and making sure she got the strokes right.

Next week, we will need to re-arrange the leaflet task in order to finish off this task as we could do with one more spoonful of mustard!
