Tracey, Paul, Simon and I thought that we'd do one good turn for the Friends of Normanton Park (who are a superb group of people) on their Family Fun Day. We started by putting some gazebos up in the world. There was a crooked man trying to put some giant games together but having trouble with the square peg and the round hole: it was me! The children loved the games, and as long as they're happy, we are too.

It was just my luck that we managed to speak to many organizations that are interested in our services. The man of the moment though was one of Paul and Simon's friends, who was so pleased to see us!

We helped to carry equipment to the stall holders, and had a look at the stalls as we did so. Our time to follow a star led us back to them later for samosas, pakoras and Indian salads.

There was a bit of trouble in store as we packed away the equipment, but we managed despite the wonky floor and the broken glass. We were treated to free ice creams by the friends as a lovely thank you!

We said fond farewells to our new friends, two of whom had to press for time because they were off to Australia tomorrow!

Gwyn and I did our fitness session before this event, as it wouldn't have been convenient to run there. The pictures of him eating a 99 are in celebration of this being his 99th good deed. Well done, Gwyn - you are a star!
