Another stupendously sunny eve in Newham and our clan saw some solar based expansion, very useful for our trip to local primary school, Manorfield.
Post warm up, we did a run through of mentionable points. Welcoming new runner Hannah (wish i had a symmetrical name) all the way from Bromley! Doffing our caps to both Jades and Helen for their PB's at Hackney Half. Not to leave out Kevin and Shaz's epic cheering, how's that for being part of a team, eh? We also congratulated 50 deed runner Ruth, what a milestone, fantastic work Ruth.
Random Weekly Question was "what's your celebrity claim to fame?" Almost cycling into Keira Knightley, getting confused for the son of a King due to your surname, nearly getting into a scrap with Liam Gallagher, meeting the fabulous Joanna Lumley, seeing a Brazilian poet (yesterday), bumping into the Muse's main man, almost getting on Made In Chelsea but for a pesky bush, having a selfie with slam dunk hero Kobe Bryant plus a few others containing Dick & Dom and Ian Mckellen!
A simple paint and stain task at the school. Headteacher, Paul gave us a quick tour of the new nursery, it looks mightily impressive, your consistent efforts and fundraising was all part of that. You guys wasted no time in painting two benches and staining 4 planters, working with efficiency in your mini-teams. Cherry on the top was the recycling/re-use of brushes and rollers, a positive forward step from last session.
With everyone still looking fresh faced and a majestic dawn sky above, we all lay down in a lovely park and ploughed through some classic core exercises. No complaints this week, just quality execution and top effort, respect!
Ruth (and Dan) baked a gorgeous blueberry vegan-gluten free cake, the fruity delight was well received with impeccable decoration - bravo. Our favourite Junior Doctor and toast lover, been a joy to have your cheery nature along on 50 tasks and witness your progress over multiple running distances. Here's to more deeds and PB's.
Next week we go to Abbey Gardens, apparently there's a whole host of stuff to do, it's also our social, i'll see if we can do it in the gardens, picnic and drinks styleeeee Sign up
Thanks for a great Wednesday, till next week
