Paint no mountain high enough
8 GoodGymers made their way to help the Society of St James in Portsmouth.

Eight GoodGym runners went back for a third time to paint some of the therapy and work spaces for SSJ.
To start with all eight of us were squished into a small room, which rapidly turned into a sauna. Luckily for us Judy found the aircon and we could carry on painting without mentioning the rising temperature every 5 seconds.
Sarah came prepared tonight with her own foil dish and paint bush. I feel I could learn a LOT from Sarah about painting and decorating. However based on mine and Louisa's last painting task we were both directed to work under the desks where no one would see our painting. Jo worked wonders up the ladder and reached places many of us could only dream of.
Once the therapy room upstairs become free Lynn & Catherine speedily finished the boarders to complete that room.
As usual there were many laughs and we were so pleased with how much we achieved in the short space of time.
Thank you Val for the excellent photos! It's a little bit like where's wally looking for Louisa & I.
We're back again next Thursday so do sign up if you can.
