7 HAWWWT Goodgymmers dreamed pipe dreams as they struggled to complete a heavy metal task at Wolves Lane.

Homecoming

We finished on time tonight, with a couple of minutes to spare, even - that can only mean one thing and one thing only: She's Back! It was glorious to have our Queen Khan back as she's on her road to recovery and she was a star photographer for us. We all know she prefers to be on the other side of the camera but she didn't do a half bad job behind the lens. Very happy to have you back!

Also, thanks to Alex for providing today's pun all the way from Scotland.

Put It In Your Pipe And Smoke It

It's always lovely to spend the evening at Wolves Lane and tonight wasn't any different. We had been hoping to help them transport some clay (a byproduct of a construction project currently underway at the back of the site) to the woodland area and start work on a pond. However, we got a call from the manager earlier in the day with the news that some overzealous and planet-friendly builders had recycled the clay in the building project itself so no pond for us tonight. 

Instead, we would be working in one of the greenhouses - used to grow organic products in the community - helping them remove some heavy metal pipes, used in winter to keep the greenhouse warm, but that are just in the way in summer.

Reader, it was heavy metal. We're talking 'Tallica in Red Square 1991 kind of heavy. Ozzy biting the head of the bat kind of heavy. Gramps getting broken by Machinehead in '07 kind of heavy.

But you know, we're a sun's out guns out kind of crew and we lifted. From the knees. It was proper hot work out for us but we managed to transport all of the pipes to the back of the site and tucked them away nicely, out of the way.

Boom!

We were then very thirsty so the doctor recommended a visit to a local watering hole and we obliged.

Join us next week for more fun and games!
