Well didn't Shrove Tuesday crepe up on us. We had a small but mighty group of GoodGymers who came with us for an evening of Good Deeds. Between us, we group were split between East Bristol Foodbank and The Southville Centre. It was great to have a very tanned Matt join us following his return from his Costa Rican adventure.

Alice D led a running group and Mel led a walking group to the Southville Centre to continue the painting job we started last week. Hugh from BS3 Community had two jobs for us to do and so the group were split between doing some furniture upcycling and railing painting. Thirty minutes later and the group were ready to go and back Queen Square, where they got some more running in with some paced Queen Square laps before finishing.

Meanwhile, Alice W back-marked the rest of us in going to East Bristol Foodbank for a big donation-sort following their supermarket collection last week. There were 70 crates of donations waiting to be sorted, and with all hands on deck, this GoodGym crew got through more than three quarters of them. We have supermarket shelf stacking careers waiting for us. Tim enlightened us with the fact we all didn't realise that we wanted to know, that 99.6% of people in the UK ate something out of a can last year. This left us a whole run back to ponder what our favourite canned item we ate last year was and what that 0.4% ate with no baked beans. Riveting thoughts, let me tell you.

After all that, we headed back to Queen Square, had a quick hopping race and went to catch-up on those pancakes. See you on the flip side.
