5 of us heading to Limehouse to finish off last week's painting job at Oceans Youth Connexions. After last week's mammoth attendance, we were smaller in number but still made a very effective team of painters.

Overalls on, we split off into different corners of the main room - some of us up ladders, others not. Up and down, left and right, we went, refilling our trays with bright, white paint. Lobo took care of the shutters - the soothing sounds of the rollers against metal being the soundtrack of the session. Anna and Ilana whizzed around the lower levels, painting any unpainted patches they could find. Myself and Rohan were mainly perched atop ladders rolling white paint onto the walls. We worked away quietly, so absorbed were we in the task at hand. The hour flew by and before we knew it was time to head back out into the chilly night.
