Is it hot? Yes it's hot? Too hot? Yes, too hot.

Welcome to first timer Clare and first timer to Islington (all the way from Wandsworth) Vix who joined a bunch of regulars last night for a trip up to Grenville Road Gardens.

At the gardens we worked on tidying up the willow arches, weeding along the paths and watering all the very dry plants (after finally finding the tap). We refuelled with some slightly melted Maryland Cookie Bites - a brand new biscuit which would probably work better in the winter.

Then before we knew it a jog (slightly downhill) back to Highbury Fields in the sweltering heat and Patrick trialled a new game "Squats the Time Mrs Wolf?". An exercisey take on the kids' game that involves walking lunges, and of course squats.

Debate questions was, "Is it too bloody hot?" We forget to vote, but nobody was wearing a jumper, so it must have been.

Joel is leading the show next week. Join him for what will probably be a slightly cooler evening (cooler as in less hot, obviously not cooler as in:

14. Slang. great; fine; excellent: a real cool comic. characterized by great facility; highly skilled or clever: cool maneuvers on the parallel bars. socially adept: It's not cool to arrive at a party too early. acceptable; satisfactory; okay: If you want to stay late, that's cool.

Yours goodly,
Simon
