Tonight, the cold was back with a vengeance, so it was really nice to be back inside at the lovely charity,** Motherwell**. Now that the darker, cooler nights have set in, we really are grateful for indoor tasks!!!

However, before setting to work on this evening's task, we headed out for a brisk 2 mile walk. Unfortunately, we weren’t able to go into the park tonight because it’s now too late as it’s dark at 6.15!!! So. we circumnavigated the park instead!! as always, we had a good chat as we walked.

It was wonderful to have Adele back with us this evening. Adele, it was lovely to have you back with your smiley, cheery disposition as always. It was also great to haveEmilyjoining us again this week. Emily had a rare day off, so what better way to spend it than with all of us, sorting clothes! True dedication tha Emily!Karen and Maurice were also with us this evening but I know I speak for us all when I say how much we missedNigel tonight (although I'm not sure how sorry he was to be missing a clothes sorting task. hey Nigel?! Lol!

Our task this evening was helping to sort out some baby clothes. We were tasked with separating all the clothes into gender, then into age groups, then into autumn/winter and summer attire. The sorted clothes are going to be distributed to families. I think it’s great that preloved clothes are recycled.

While we were sorting, we enjoyed a bit of pop culture, lol, playing the game of name that tune (some of you will be old enough to remember that TV programme). We proved that everyone was really very knowledgeable about music, with the exception of Nicolawho couldn’t guess any of them correctly!

We had a bit of a laugh at poor Adele's expense tonight as we took a group photo at the end, only for her to realise that she'd put her T-shirt on inside out!! Never mind, Adele, we'll blame the poor lighting in the car!! 🤣

We didn’t quite manage to get through all the bags, but we certainly made a big dent. Well done everyone, another job well executed!!

Oh, and they're NOT big pants that -Maurice is holding, A prize for the first person who correctly guesses what it actually is, lol!!

Enjoy the rest of your week and I look forward to seeing you all soon.

Lots of love Nicola xxx
