Just like buses, we haven’t had any for ages and then 4 come along all at once! A big welcome to Katie, Beth, Emily & Nipun’s friend (who didn’t write his first name on the form & I can’t remember it!)

In other news we congratulated Roy on his Istanbul Half Marathon and anyone who ran, volunteered or cheered at Brighton marathon and 10k at the weekend.

For our task tonight we were back in Hanover & Elm Grove where we split into sub groups all taking on a different task to make the ward nicer for local residents. Yet more artless scribbles were covered with base coat by one group, whilst another wall got its top coat after a rubbing down to remove the last coat of flakey paint. Another group did a general litter pick in the area and another worked on the land in front of the Percy Wagner alms houses. Here amongst the usual detritus of bottles and cans we found several pairs of pliers as well as several pairs of pants! Also a doll’s head and torso which we eventually identified as Rapunzel from the film Tangled who judging by all the empty booze containers had been partying hard and hence tonight’s pun!

With the ‘doing good’ done a fitness session on the Level involving a relay of cone collecting and various exercises ticked the ‘getting fit’ box and we headed back for our stretches.

See you next week if I don’t see you at Preston Park parkrun on Saturday. Have a great week’s running!
