A return visit to help Ms V with her rubbish bags - I knew the routine this time, so it was just a case of getting the 6+ bags, plus a box, plus some food waste bags, into the lift in as few journeys as possible, and then doing the same on the ground floor to get them to the bin area and disposing the right items in the appropriately coloured bin.

A very short list today for the friendly Ms J - and helpfully she had the empties of the coffee box and vinegar glaze bottle that she wanted in her recyclable bag, such that all I had to do was find the matching pair on the shelf in Waitrose and I'd win the game - she'd correctly guessed I knew what a banana looked like so I wasn't (thankfully) supplied with any old peels...

At the top of Mr R's list was Yoghurt (Blue), to which I asked if that was what he actually meant..."not the Green one" he replied, and it all became clear - full fat vs zero %...

An excellent turnout on the volunteer front to support 46 enthusiastic junior runners this morning at a still muddy, and slightly misty, London Fields - but thankfully the rain stayed away. The slippery conditions underfoot didn't seem to trouble our first three finishers, who ran as a pack the whole way round, and only the finishing sprint down the home straight separated them by just a few seconds...exciting stuff. Lots of (slightly breathless) happy faces then followed them into the finish funnel, setting 9 PBs between them - great work.

Twelve first timers joined us this morning on what was our second biggest attendance of the year, and thankfully our team of 16 volunteers, which included GoodGymmers Rue, Hilary, Bea, Louise, Sarah, Chandrima and Nick, did a great job of ensuring everything ran smoothly for another week - thank you all.

Same time next week under the big tree for more fun at the Fields.
