Among our finds was a rusty broken rod with a decorative end thatSamantha identified as a curtain rail.

Andy was menacing in his audition for a fork handed killer!

And a job well done in filling multiple bags and buckets with rubbish.

Tonight’s Run & Rave through Portsmouth was a miracle of survival, mostly because we later realized that we shouldn't be trusted with a bus pass, let alone a 5km run!

Sam divulged her hall-of-fame incompetence on public transport - apparently, she once booked flights from Bristol instead of Bournemouth, and has also managed to sit in a train carriage that wasn’t actually attached to her train - leaving her stranded at Waterloo while the rest of the world moved on! Not to be outdone, Sinéad shared her own "pro-traveler" antics, which included traversing the country dressed as a bumblebee, and then falling asleep against a total stranger in full costume! She also topped it off with the classic move of booking flights for the wrong day, blissfully unaware that flight numbers repeat throughout the week.

How did we actually make it to the end without ending up in a different time zone? That’s easy. We ignored the logic of our team and simply followed Andy with his flag of power, the vibes, neon lights, and the pulsing music of Run & Rave.

... 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.
