That was a bit of a corker last night. Clean instructions, visually rewarding task, healthy numbers, optimum weather, new faces, funky core work and some delightful dusk hues.
We started with a little catch up and grilled Tim on his epic european adventure by bike. He's probably answered all these questions umpteen times since his return. But... we still wanted to know the gossip. Best place, worst place, least enjoyable meal and what battery device did you use to ensure a constant facebook feed...we got the bullet points. Bravo T, what a journey, but great to have you back with a rugged beard. Gggrrr (Sorry). Random Weekly Question "favourite guilty pleasure TV show?" Some expressed no guilt over their viewing trivia, others had no tv's...there was a real variation in answers. From a show about pimple popping, to dressing up in drag...and all the other stuff in between. Back in my day we'd read Chaucer books under flickering weak candle light, then eat a raw potato for dinner. Times are changing.
We danced through The Olympic Park to the adventure playground, where we found Dan already grafting away diligently. Grafter. We were directed to dig a path, do some weeding then lay some wood chip, you'll wasted no time. Using forks, shovels and spades you got the path dug up quickly and neatly. A quick rush to get some wood chip down on said path and we were done in no time. I even got a nice little before and after picture.
Our GoodGym tourist Chi put us all through a testing 3min ab workout, which was actually about 7mins. But who's counting? It was engaging, flowing and tough - nice work big man. We'd love to have you back, i'm not not even still upset that we were your third last GoodGym to visit!
Next week we get stuck in at Cody Dock - a 2mile run there and then the same back. Sign up here Let's enjoy the rest of this heat wave, because we'll be huddled up under a tarp in 6 months time bemoaning the winter.
See you fine specimens next week
