After his outing to the O2 last night, Richard just couldn't get Kylie out of his head, so our evening at the Salvation Army garden was inspired by Ms Minogue.

The runners set in (Loco)motion, all with their 100 Wings on for the occasion. Two extra good deeds were also undertaken on the way - Jen reporting a crime and Judy helping a young man with directions to the train station.

After we'd been Spinning Around trying to find the right building, we headed to the family garden to pull weeds and offer a general tidy up. The Kids had left plenty of treasure to be unearthed, including a number of eggs left over from April's Easter Egg Hunt, a tiny horse who liked to curtsey, Lego and various insects on sticks amongst the litter and weeds.

We Should Be So Lucky to have such lovely hosts, who provided biscuits, water and a visit to their resident Leopard Gecko, Gigi. I know I'd love to Step Back In Time and visit again, I don't know about you!

Apologies for the strained use of Kylie Minogue puns, but you wouldn't have me any other way - Better The Devil You Know!

Back to the Salvation Army today to sort more donated toys ready to bring some Christmas joy to under-privileged children. Along with the toys, we had some lovely toiletries for teenagers and a huge box of newborn/baby soft toys, rattles, and things to bring a smile to even the tiniest of faces. Once the bags had been cleared, I put together a few more mini Christmas stockings that Jen had made a start on yesterday.

Today's task was sorting donated toys in to different age groups and genders ready for the Salvation Army to give to some of the most disadvantaged children in our community. There were so many lovely things donated - all brand new, which I wasn't expecting!
