Low turn-out transformed this week's Group Run into an impromptu date night. I treated Dave to a Blood Moon-lit stroll through the beautiful streets of Fratton and Landport, picking up litter and being praised by random men smoking some special cigarettes.

Finished up with a bev in the local Wetherspoons - who said romance was dead?

Thanks to Katie for finding us tonight's task - fortunately we had a warm and dry evening which made mini-bus washing a much more pleasant activity.

Andy and Dave did a solid job cleaning, polishing and hoovering inside the bus. Dave was very taken with the Cockpit Shine cleaner, and may be investing in some for the car at home.

Whilst cleaning the outside, we mused on the fact that we don't actually wash our own cars anymore, so this was quite a novel experience. I did get a little flashback to childhood when I was launching buckets of water to rinse the suds.

Sinéad's climbing skills came in handy for cleaning the high side of the van, although at the end of the task realised the ladder she'd been using was a little dubious!
