Providing admin support to keep the RNLI crews afloat.

Remind me to do the online training on how to take a good selfie!

... well, the screw wasn't so much loose as completely absent! After unpacking the new planter at Hilsea Station, assembly became more difficult as the fixtures and fittings were missing. DIY Dave was able to work out what was missing so Jane from Community Spotlight has a shopping list to officially complete the task.

Whilst Jane nipped home to bring some compost, to help keep the planter in place, we tried growing our own Dave and Betsy plants. Unfortunately, there was not a lotnof success. We then got our GoodGym on, carrying big sacks of compost and top soil and loading the planters.

Sinéad, Sam and John cleared some of the litter from the platforms whilst sharing ideas and contacts to help with the station greening project.

The rain couldn't quite stay away, and our run back to the Lido was more than a bit soggy, however a few more kms were logged for the January Challenge.

Today was time for my monthly trip to Police Investigation Centre in Portsmouth to fulfil my role of volunteer Independent Custody Visitor.

Every custody suite in the country is visited at least once a week to check that those in custody are being treated in accordance with the law of the land and the staff are doing as they should.

If you want to know more about how to become a Custody Visitor contact me or do a web search!

Ran to Portsmouth and East Hampshire Samaritans to help them keep the phones manned.

Morning excursion to Tamworth Park saw a lot of mist and frost!

It does make litter picking easier when the rubbish is solid and stuck in place amid the frosty play equipment.

Sadly no interesting finds today!

On my way home from the community centre I stopped off at this playground to give it a tidy.

Due to the British weather there was noone about so I was able to quickly pick up the strewn litter before heading off.

No lost toys or clothes this time, only an empty Blackthorn can that was definitely out of place!
