Myself and Claire met at the task early this afternoon to have lunch so that we could sample some of the food on offer at the Planet Food Café. Thai pork curry and rice was Claire's choice and I had carrot and orange soup - both delicious and washed down with tea and coffee.

After being waited on and having finished our food, we felt it was time to do our job and help get the tables and chairs tidied away. After about 40 minutes all was tidy with everything put away and the floor swept. I took some of the leftover bananas and then our last job was to put the box of leftover bread and bread rolls outside on the street for people to help themselves.

We took a quick selfie at the front of the church (after admiring GG York's previous work on the grounds outside) and departed, me cycling and Claire walking home.

Next week the Planet Food Café are looking for help setting up the tables and chairs as well in the morning (as their regular volunteer isn't available) so this will be listed as a separate task to this regular Thursday afternoon one.
