In a last minute change of plan, we had a request from Stepney Bank Stables to put some flat pack furniture together after an IKEA shopping spree. I've been visiting Stepney Bank Stables for years but had never been inside 'The Cottage', nor staff member Andrew's lair, which was filled with tools and all sorts of weird and wonderful things. Such was the confusion at times tonight, a phone call to Sara asking for help was even required!

Welcome to new GoodGymer Daniel. We usually look like we roughly know what we're doing, unlike tonight, so please come and join us again soon so we can demonstrate it!

There were a number of IKEA items in their boxes, some large and some small. One of them unfortunately needed a drill to put together, which we did not have. We did however manage to put a cabinet together, which we were quite pleased about. We even had the opportunity to say hello to a horse or two as we were returning the tool box to its room.

The planned Ouseburn Festival leafleting task was postponed until next week, which we will complete just in time for the festival.
