Stormy weather prompted a change of task this week as we were scheduled to paint dugouts at the 61 Football Club, but instead we went for indoor painting as the refurbishment of the Brown Books community bookshop nears completion.
On arrival, we swept up after the carpenters and had a quick workout using paint cans and sharing physio exercise tips for building knee strength.
We had yellow and green paint to apply to different parts of the walls so we got the rollers going and began the transformation from stark white.
We didn't quite get it all finished but made a good dent in it, ready to finish off next time around!
This task supported
Brown Books is a second hand bookshop open for a year as part of a pilot project with Luton Literature CIC and Luton Community Arts Trust. As well as ebing a treasure trove of preloved books they run a number of literary events, storytelling sessions, book readings and signings, poetry events, book clubs and other children's activities. The space is intended to encourage a love of reading and creative writing at any age and to promote early take up of reading in young children.
