We were happy to see Jess back for her first run in a few weeks, and after a lengthy discussion about SPF along with myself and Angela, we confirmed the planned roles of Joe as photographer and Andy as backmarker, and of course posed for a cat/thriller photo.

Whilst approaching the church, Rich took sneaky photos from his window of the group approaching the church. Perhaps creepy to some, but we're used to it.

Our task was to continue digging the trench around the church perimeter, but it proved more tough and more biting-insect ridden than last time. None of us were quite as smart as Fay in putting on full length clothing to avoid the insects. Rich and Andy put themselves forward for wheelbarrow duty, and everyone kept them on their toes, particularly David by flinging shovels of debris at them rather than carefully into the wheelbarrow.

Upon leaving the church, only Joel responded to my question about route, so we took a slightly longer route back through the park to get our total distance to almost 4km.

Great work digging everyone, and all the hard work should mean we have more tasks for them in the future!

See you all soon.

Laurie
