And just like that we've run into a New Year with exciting events ahead of us.

As per every January we have the January Challenge to look forward to in order to make our Motivation Monday's even more ... motivating!

This year we are tasked with completing 2000km and 80 Good Deeds! Best get those trainers on (hope my feet didn't put on any Christmas weight!).

We ended 2021 with having completed 1078 good deeds and over 11, 000 km's accomplished! But we are now 'out with the old and in with the New Year so let's smash this target and make 2022 our best year ever.

S'miles all round

Sut, Jean and I met at Sainsbury's in order to get a longer distance in (2 miles each way), and ran down to meet Pam and Sandy at The Activity Centre. We hadn't seen Jean in a few weeks and it was lovely to catch up with all the stories, which always leafs us with s'miles all round.

Our task tonight was to collect up all the leaves and fallen debris from the grounds at Parvaaz. The last time we did this task (in early December, we picked up over 15 bagfuls of leaves!). Could we beat this tonight? Let's see what happened..

The team tonight comprised off:

  • Sandy - Leaf it to me - Dhaliwal,

  • Sutyee - Leaf me alone - Pang,

  • Jean - I cannot be-leaf it - Watts,

  • Pam - I'm taking a leaf of faith - Banga,

  • Manjit - Take it or leaf it - Birk.

So good to see everyone happily digging into the task. We spent around 45 minutes scraping the leaves, creating little piles, bagging them then disposing the bags in the waste area ready to be composted (without the plastic bags of course!).

What a re-leaf to get it all done in time.

Thanks for coming along to our first session of 2022...here are the listed tasks (more to be added soon)
