7 tuneful Goodgymmers danced to the Leyla's beat at Living Under One Sun as they lend a hand tonight to make the green outside the cafe safe for guests.
Kudos Corner
Big up for for Kristina and Priyen who were joining us for their first task in a while. They were natural-born-Goodgymmers and eased their way back into it with skill and aplomb. Absolute heroes - please come back again!
The Plot Stickens
Under the constant threat of diluvial downpours, our Goodgymmers made their way, running and walking, to Living Under One Sun where Leyla and the team were waiting for us with open arms and a multitude of tasks.
Luos are hosting a big community party this weekend and the great outside the cafe was looking a little bit worse for wear already. So we were entrusted with giving it a nice facelift and that is what we did.
We cleared the pile upon pile of fallen leaves from the pathways, unrolled and tidied away unruly hoses, cleared the green of sticks (trip hazards), pulled weeds to our hearts content, and helped Leyla put away the plants that will be given away this weekend to encourage neighbours to transform their balconies into micro-gardens.
All the while, Latino-tinged music blasted from the speakers and we danced the night away and before we knew, it was time to go home.
We took some photos and devoured the wonderful spread that the team kindly put out for us. And we headed out into the night, dry as a bone and with the satisfaction of a good job well done!
Join us again next week for more fun....
