Thursday 6:15/ 6:30pm is GoodGym Windsor Night! πŸ‘‘πŸƒβ€β™‚οΈπŸƒπŸ»β€β™€οΈ Adam, Zoe and Didem met Mandy at the task where Mandy had just met the task owner Daniel.

For tonights community mission we were back at Achieving for Children - Family Hub Service in Hanover Way.

Twas a dark and stormy πŸŒ‘πŸ’¨night on our first visit but even then the Windsor GGs did lots to clear the area and weed etc but we couldn’t paint the bench so we were back to finish the job on a sunny autumn evening β˜€οΈπŸ

Sue had previously laid some grass seed which had taken well so we trimmed that but some pesky weeds had grown back so Didem and Mandy tackled those first in the grass, the steps and front of the building while Adam and Zoe rubbed down the bench and step. Then it was time to paint after having a good inspection of each paint pot for the best consistency and giving it a good stir with a trusty stick found by Didem.

It is a small area but there was no standing still. Oh no instead while waiting there was squatting, lunging and plenty of β€˜guess if my bum πŸ‘ is clenched or not clenched’ game 🀣 lots of chit chat and an update on the latest phone tech from Adam.

After the task there was a game of beach ball catch to play and a couple of rounds of jumping jacks to improve our butts.

Don’t forget those before and afters photos πŸ‘ 🀣 and let’s see the results next year!

We handed back to the task owner the brushes and paint and said our goodbyes with a curtsy and bow.

Thank you all for the giggles 🀣 πŸ€£πŸ‘πŸ»πŸ‘‘πŸƒβ€β™‚οΈπŸƒπŸΌβ€β™€οΈ and completed task!
