Worthing Report written by Flo
I'm still in the Worthing area, and wanted to visit my friends at Worthing Leisure Centre junior parkrun. This is my 6th time volunteering with them.
Today I was volunteering as time keeper. 89 junior parkrunners later, and the event was over.
There was a lot of excitement about the reopening of the Leisure Centre coffee shop. Today was its first day after being closed for renovation. The coffees were as good as ever.
The predicted forecast was for rain, rain, a bit more rain, and maybe even a thunderstorm. So that may explain the number of parkrunners. But all of them had fun.

Worthing Report written by Flo
I was volunteering at Worthing parkrun this morning. Worthing is also home to a GoodGym, and today's run director was also a GoodGymer.
The weather was, quite frankly, terrible. The rain was already in place before 9 AM, and didn't let up once. Runners and volunteers were soaked through. But, everyone finished with a smile on their face.
I was helping out on Finish Tokens, along with another visiting tourist. There were no problems, which is always nice.

Shortly after I first moved to Cardiff (in 2011), I started a photo blog called 'Umbrella Graveyard'.
This is because no Umbrella is a match for the wind and rain of Wales.
In fact, this was even referenced to an extent in the 'A Study in Pink' episode of the first series of the BBCs 'Sherlock' (which was filmed in Wales, at a similar time).
After a wet and windy day in Wales, you can find pavements and bins serving as the last resting place of many an umbrella.
They were however far to big and cumbersome to make it into any of my litter pick bags. But they do serve as some of the photos and title of this report.
In conclusion - I did a litter pick! Or two. I litter picked my way to the GoodGym mission at Cwtch Together. And afterwards, I litter picked my way home.
Whilst litter picking I met a Cardiff Council worker who asked if I needed any extra bags, and invited me to add my current bag to his van.
Not every bit of rubbish made it's way into my bag. Some bits of rubbish has snails attached. It was better to leave them there.
Most interesting bits of litter picked:
A vanity bag A gift bag Socks (multiple)
Most interesting bits of rubbish spotted
A blue light up owl High heeled shoe (singular) Nike trainers (complete set) Snails attached to crisp packets
