A big welcome to Viv who came to her first group run session tonight.

We warmed up with some frisbee which included confusing the caretaker who was (rightly) worried about his windows. Birthday girl (& international athlete) Louisa was our most consistent thrower and catcher.

Once it got a bit too difficult to see the black frisbee we decided it was time to dig into Jen's baking for a sugar high to power us through our gardening task.

The gardening club had focused on clearing the leaves so we were left with the "adults only" task of weeding the planters and pulling up the nettles. We're definitely getting better at protection.... fewer stings than previous visits but plenty of swearing when we were caught! The brambles (other names may have been used) were hiding and also tried to inflict injury. No incident forms were needed fortunately. Good job there's not a "near miss" form with close calls on falling into a hole & emergency stops with the bag full of nettles.

The compost heap had many visits and the old pond area is much clearer. Hopefully we'll get some cover down so that the roots die off too.

Tonight's interesting fact courtesy of quizmaster Tony was Levi Roots' real name.... Perhaps Keith Valentine Graham's sauce wouldn't have sold quite so many units!
