It was still daylight, with a beautiful sunset to appreciate as the runners and walkers left the cobbles outside Workout to head for St Werburgh's Community Centre for Caroline's 500th good deed - mild congratulations, Caroline, who doesn't think it's worthy of a cheer as it's just turning up, but this week she'd not only turned up, she'd brought vegan chocolate brownies - hooray!

We were helping the centre prepare for their Green Feast event on Saturday - emergency counting of spoons and forks (the easy bit) and detangling two whole boxes of bunting - some cotton, some cardboard and LOADS of thin, fraying fabric ones that were knottier than a knotty thing. I can't think of a knotty thing - answers in the comments section, please.

With a time-lapse video showing how productive we were, it did take the whole time we were there and we left the bunting so tidy that each individual section was lovingly rolled up and tied with string and it all fitted into the Hamper of Bunting - maybe we'll be asked back to pack it away again instead of de-tangling it before the next event?!

Back to Workout, except there was speed dating on, so a diversion to the very warm Bar + Block upstairs seating area (who knew?) for aforementioned brownies, cups of tea and other tipples. Much happiness all round.
