A trinity of runners met up in town to run out on a quest to find the Holy Gail who was meeting us at the task this evening.

We had a surprise on arrival as Gail had blessed us by bringing a new team member, so we welcomed Jenny to the gang and set about the evening's task.

The 150 year old Holy Trinity Church had gathered a bit of dust and lost some of its sparkle. To kick off a series of tasks to polish up the church's rough edges we got started with giving the floors a good vacuuming and mopping and also polished up some of the pews.

After 40 minutes of effort from our team of 5 there was a noticeable difference, surfaces were shiny again and the air was filled with the smell of furniture polish. William and Violet, our hosts for the evening, were very pleased with the diligent work of our team and are looking forward to us returning for another visit soon!

8 Goodgymers joined the Friends of the temple and members of the Roma trust, to support the cooking classes at the Sri Guru Ravidass Sangat Gudwara. There was lots of fun, and learning for the groups invited to the event and the Goodgym faithful were able to support with prepping, cooking and washing up/ tidying down. We welcomed Joseph to his first good gym task and we hope yo see him at many more in the future. Great gig guys. Well done

I managed to get to Mr D's early today as my previous work appointment took less time thank I'd suspected and I was only just down the road.

Mr D was pleased to see me, although he pretended that I was too early and would have to go away and come back later. He soon changed his mind when he saw the mini baguette in my bag.

We had the usual round up of whatever's been going on over the past week, and I was pleased to hear that his boiler has finally been fixed. And then we got onto the subject of food. I was talking about airfryers and he thinks he wants one but his son has said no. I can understand that he might get confused, but I explained how nice oven chips are done in the airfryer and he started to get even more interested. BUt this conversation led to what you can and can't have on chips. Me: salt, and maybe ketchup to dip in if it's with fish, or mayonnaise if they are with a quiche and salad. Mr D: salt and vinegar and none of the other nonsense. Me: Vinegar is just sooo wrong. Mr D: what do you mean? Vinegar is essential. A basic human right for the chips.

And so it went on, all done with a twinkle in the eye and lots of laughter.

He has also asked if next time I visit I can show him how to make a cheese omelette as apparently he's had a couple of disasters. I was telling him about FoodCycle and he reckons I should know how to cook an egg.

It was a lovely afternoon and the time flew by so quickly. And before I knew it, my tea had been drubnk and it was time for me to get back to work.

Mr D says he has high eggspectations for the next visit. 😂
