Sara, Sol and Sheila joined taskowner Fran at the Community Fridge in Windsor to give the place a deep-clean. We cleaned the fridges and freezers, including all the produce trays, so they are all squeaky clean. Our hard work in previous sessions has paid off - we are now like a well-oiled machine. Fran gave the deli counter a good polish, and we taught Sol the 'Lefty Loosey, Righty Tighty' phrase for remembering which way screws turn. But the Sara found that it doesn't always work for fridges...... It was great to catch up with everyone again, and we made a date for the next session in the New Year, so we wished Fran a Merry Christmas (!) before departing............ Kudos to Sol for travelling sustainably by train and then walking all the way back to Maidenhead, to Sheila for cycling, both getting a good soaking on the way home. And to Sara for coming out to help with this mission before travelling down to the South Coast for the weekend.
