I really do love these summer evenings…. Light nights and the smell of freshly cut grass. It’s even better when you’re enjoying it while out on a run with your lovely Goodgym buddies.

Tonight, we were small in numbers but what we lacked in quantity, we made up for in effort… didn’t we Maurice?. We were at the Lighthouse Centre tonight, helping to clean the kitchen. The Lighthouse serves many people in the local community, in various capacities and the kitchen plays an integral part in the work they do. They are due an inspection from public health (I think that’s the name) anytime now, so they just wanted us to give the kitchen a bit of TLC.

But, before getting stuck in, Maurice and I headed out for our evening run. We covered 2.25 miles (3.6km) in total. We headed down Alton Street to the park, did a reverse sort of a parkrun and then headed back. Maurice put me to shame as usual…. I looked like a beetroot upon our return!

Back at the Lighthouse and we got stuck in with our cleaning duties. We cleared all the shelving and gave it a good clean. With plenty of elbow grease, some water, cloths, and a couple of scourers, we set to work and soon had the job done. On first inspection, the shelves didn’t look too bad but when we emptied them of all the utensils, we found that they would definitely benefit from some Goodgym TLC.

We soon had them sparkling again and everywhere looked much brighter and nicer when we’d finished!

It was a lovely evening and Maurice and Dalton were great company. I enjoyed our chats… we covered everything from bitcoins, to Netflix!

Have a great week and look forward to seeing you very soon!

Lots of love Nicola xxx
