We may have lacked in numbers this evening, but this was certainly made up for by enthusiasm! To everyone's relief, we weren't doing door-to-door letter box drops, but finding community boards across the the city to post flyers for Home-Start's next volunteer training course.
Team DJ (Dave and Jen) headed west towards Gunwharf and covered around 4.5 miles, stopping at 11 venues along the way.
Meanwhile, Sammy and Vicki (team name tbc) headed east and confused plenty of supermarket staff asking for the locations of their community boards. Vicki also did a bit of leaflet collecting for her work, whilst Sam had a bit of a social after bumping into a friend on their travels.
We all managed to rendezvous on our way back to base at Fratton, and had a relaxed and chatty walk home. Great job, guys!

Another fascinating discussion with F, on a typically wide range of topics.
We discussed French artists we have studied and appreciate. F introduced me to the work of André Derain and I dug information about Edouard Manet from the depths of my memory, studied 40 years ago.
Meanwhile, F quoted at length the Latin poetry from her schooldays 85 years ago! Impossible to compete!

Not even sure what to write here about this. Last did it in 2017 and don't remember it being anywhere near as awful as it was today. I certainly don't remember the hill being that big! The first race I haven't collected my medal at the end!

After dropping some tins for the foodbank and having a lovely wander along the seafront for Southsea parkrun. I hung around at the end to help close things down and put the gear into storage for another week to bring up my 100th parkrun volunteer!
