Last night 12 of us gathered, some for the run and some meeting at the task. The sweaty ones arrived to a very prompt group waiting at Montessori House (I love our group, you're always on time - except for Ivar obviously who is always compulsively early.)

We haven't been here for a long time and have previously painted the outdoor fence which was off the cards tonight due to the rain so instead the main task was to paint the hallway. Thankfully Wendy and Mr Roger were very well prepared with the floor covered and all the rollers and brushes at the ready for us to get started. It was definitely a tight squeeze for 12 of us but we managed to organise ourselves and get the job done to I think a pretty good standard in half an hour and everyone seemed to still be friends by the end, despite a few painted rear ends 😆

Special welcome to Megan and Rubaina for your first tasks with us and hope you'll be back for more soon!

This weekend as well as the Parkruns we've got conservation at Oxleas Woods

And Hornfair Juniors on Sunday.

Next Wednesday we're at Prince Philip Maritime Museum where we'll be doing some odd jobs and gardening.

Until next time!

And our motivation for the evening was multiple birthday celebrations at Blythe Hill Tavern post-group run but first we needed to tackle the tasks Senior's had in store for us!

It was our last group run in the garden for the year as we'll now be heading indoors on our regular sessions at Senior's.

The tasks for the evening were watering a very specific set of plants, i.e. those that would still bear fruit this year and then moving a big pile of woodchip a short distance to create new paths around the raised beds.

We were done in quite quick time and the woodchip pile was significantly smaller! Next week we're heading to The Albany and don't forget headtorches as it will be dark in the garden.
