Valentine's Day is fast approaching and our task on a chilly and wet Tuesday was to produce a window display for the British Heart Foundation's shop.

The boys in our group were feeling pretty exposed and clueless so we left it to the girls to formulate an idea.

Step forward Levita, Laurel, Claire, Rachel, Jana and Anna to mastermind a design which attracted admirers almost immediately.

Jonathan, Tom, Luke, and Sabir helped bring down mannequins to be dressed in wedding finery, while Dave and Claire and others painstakingly cut out and stuck eye-catching hearts on the window. Flowers appeared by the bucketload, rugs were carried across the shop floor and it ended up looking pretty amazing.

A really fun evening ended with our social at The Albion, where Six Nation burgers are well recommended.

A great team showed their commitment to the January Challenge with another fun Tuesday evening at the YMCA's Hawker Centre.

It never feels like a chore cleaning the soft play area and Emma, Claire, Levita, Tom, Dave, Emily, Anna, Rachel, Luke, Farzeen, Jonathan, Sabir, Marcus, Laurel all got stuck in wiping down chairs, tables, surfaces and the sensory area with a lifetime's supply of disinfectant products.

MVP award to Luke, who even managed to clean the whole of the big slide without making (much of) a spectacle of himself.

The reward for it all is getting to be a big kid and climbing on the equipment ourselves afterwards. Lovely to be out and about, doing good and clocking up those points and kilometres.

This evening 3 of us went to Searchpoint to help prepare smoothies and healthy snacks which fell in line with there theme for this month. Like us all, the people that use this center are focused on starting off the New year happy and healthy. Anna prepared the snack tray which was perfectly arranged, while Levita and myself made the smoothies. This was all gratefully received as a break in the middle of playing their games and doing jigsaw puzzles. We even had some time to chat with them. while Martel was overseeing the whole evening. A most rewarding evening.

We actively took part in removing the Christmas decorations at Seeability last evening. Emma, Emily, Anna, Rachel and I worked together in perfect sync, and we wound up the session with some lovely tea made for us by the staff and a warm chat.
