Tonight saw 14 of us head out for a run - hurrah for the warmer weather.... and the bonus 'face spritz' from the drizzle!! We had a lovely 'out and back' run along the Thames Path heading East for a change of scene.... and a lovely scene it was! There really is nothing better than running along the Thames all lit up and calm.

A little wetter than usual we arrived at TLG at 7:30pm and got to work giving a 2nd cost of paint to the wall we painted at Thursday's Starter Session and a first coat of paint to the other wall. After 'Johnny - computer genius - W' had unplugged the computers in the correct order(!) we set to work cleaning and rubbing down our new wall and painting away. New skills learned and a few people inspired to tackle their own decorating challenges!

Luckily the rogue pot of white paint hadn't baffled us and we'd stuck to the 2 magnolia pots (despite the slight scare!) and our walls were as they should be - beautiful and clean - giving the kids a slightly brighter environment to work in :)

A quick 10 min run back to base and we were ready for our Chinese team dinner to celebrate Chinese New Year! Perfect!
