Body Rolling

Wednesday 10th November 2021

Written by Katie Carew-Robinson (she/her)

We had the biggest turn out in AGES today, oh yes we did! It was lovely to see everyone. Big Wednesday welcome to Charlotte who joined us for her 2nd good deed.

The run report title was inspired by Katie L who, as well as finding us this task, managed to use her body to paint the walls as well as a brush and roller. She didn't have anyone to warn her "it's behind you". Katie should also get an extra good deed as she took Tracey's dropped phone back to her after the task. Tracey needs her phone to get all her birthday messages tomorrow!

Our tasks tonight involved a lot of white paint.... To paint the toilets and lots of the scenery pieces. Some pieces needed staples and glue removing, as well as sanding before they got their coat of paint. There was also a mirror frame to paint gold so that Beauty can admire herself in it!

Judy and Tracey had a non painting task... Decorating the Christmas tree, it definitely is beginning to look like Christmas! Is it too early? On no it isn't, oh yes it is... I think it's 50/50 according to our group!

Lucy was determined that we should squeeze in a fitness session and although there weren't many who were enthusiastic, once we got started the FOMO kicked in and there was plenty of lunging, climbing of mountains and standing superheros!

If you'd like to go to see the panto and get involved with all the crazy traditions and audience participation, you can go from 2nd December to 2nd January. More info here
