The shift entailed using some (in my case, little) arm muscles to help unload the food delivery from the delightful Marvin, who did look doubtfully at me but I proved him wrong (just lol), to unpacking and flattening all the empty boxes,a good exercise for stamping out any frustrations indeed! Helping to pack up 50 bags to give for those with cooking provisions. Then to test those (little) arm muscles again to help unload the huge bags of clothes from the storage cupboard and trying to find the elusive men size large clothes, alas an appeal for mens clothing and carrier bags are needed again. Then it was time to hand over the reins to the next shift.

I joined Shami when she was folding the tissue papers with cutleries. Emma asked me to arrange the bags into groups of ten and tie them up, so that it would make their lives easier when they make the grocery bags in the next shift.

We ran out of bands to hold the bags together. We improvised and made ropes using torn plastic bags. After having tea, we moved all the snack bags to the front.

Shami was tasked with writing the menu of the day. She managed to use all the markers and we had a debate on how to spell Daal. Is it Dhal or Dhaal or Daal? Shami chose Dhall in the end.

By 5:40pm we covered all the setup. The food didn't arrive till 5:50pm. It was Daal and Rice today. Before the GoodGymers for the next shift arrives, I was helping out in the kitchen with the packaging.

Beat and Anuj arrived few minutes before the task time. They were placed on clothing sections. Once Kash showed up I handed over my food transport duty to her and left.
