One of the nice things about follow-up sessions is to see the progress of the project.

The different rooms are starting to take shape, things falling into place step by step, almost ready to be fixed in place.

This evening more little bits of prep to be done:

• Kareem joined Kat in rolling up more of the wrapping paper
• Tom joined Finn putting together stools for the cinema room
• sorting bottles, cleaning re-purposed floor tiles & folding sports towels were my contribution

More sessions to follow this week - grand opening from 12.30 on Saturday.

P.S. anyone know an available DJ for the opening event?

There'll be no more worries about temporary furniture solutions folding under pressure, now that this table has been fully assembled. A few screws later and it was ready to support the DVD player and all of its other TV accessory friends. They're all now at a much more appropriate height, so there's no bending needed to whack in a DVD and press play on an old classic.

We spent the whole session with the goats today!

We mucked out their stalls, cleared up the poo, and laid down fresh hay to make their home clean and cozy again. We also did a few trips to the 'poo palace'. After the chores, we enjoyed hanging out with them in their area— they were as curious and playful as ever.

We were lucky with the weather too — rain only showed up right at the end and didn’t last long. A full, fun, and rewarding day!

Before the task, early arrivers indulged in a spot of bat watching and we were introduced to the bat detector!

At 7pm, we gathered around as Ken took us through the ABCs of bulb planting. Then we were on our way across the park with our trowels and head torches. We dug deep (to save the bulbs from the squirrels!) and planted 200 bulbs between us around the park. Looking forward to spring to see our handy work bloom and the park come alive with tulips and crocuses!

Shout out to our newest members of the group Beth and Ryan. See you all again soon!
