Smells Like White Spirit
5 GoodGymers made their way to help the Society of St James in Portsmouth.
- Thursday, 5th of March 2020

5 GoodGymers met up at our weekly Thursday community mission to celebrate Lucy's birthday with some painting and scrumptious cakes from Katie - who says you can't not have cake on your birthday!
Lucy quickly offered to hop up the ladder after my initial shaky steps up it - plus after all the drips I made a few weeks ago it seemed a better idea! Katie became her lackey, doing the wall trimmings, holding up her tray and basically whatever the birthday girl needed!
Duncan, Lynn and myself took to the door frames with the nutty almond white gloss paint! We liked the difference it made so much we made a start on the skirting boards as well. And we are going to blame the runny paint this time for the drips everywhere we went, instead of our painting talents! Luckily Duncan proved quite skilled at swigging white spirit and managed to make it look like we had never passed!
We wrapped up the evening with a tidy up - including Katie sniffing her white spirit mug which prompted Lynn's title for this evening! And finally the lovely birthday cakes to perk us up for the rainy journey home.
Thank you all for coming, feel free to join next week or any other Thursday in the near future as we are booked up for awhile! Check out our listings here!
