Sol, Jenni and Sheila met with taskowner Fran at the Community Fridge, which aims to reduce food waste by redistributing food that's near to its sell by date. Sol and Sheila were feeling virtuous after having completed Parkrun/walk earlier that morning. our task was to give the place a good clean. Sheila took all of the shelves out of the fridge and gave them a good clean while Sol cleaned out the freezer, cleaned the kickboards and the floor. Jenni cleaned all the shelves along one side and then hoovered the floor and inside the drawers, while Fran cleaned the deli counter. Finally we gave the bins a good disinfect by which time everything was sparkly clean and ready for business. Fran gave each of us a sachet of sweet vanilla and fig rooibos tea which promised us inner peace. Jenni set off to drive up to Manchester, Sol walked back to her car parked on the other side of town and Sheila cycled back home. We all had some inner peace from the satisfaction of a job well done

I liked cleaning the freezer - water was cold on the hot summer day!
