This morning me, Alison and first-time Goodgymer Nemia met up at Story Garden to help unload a scaffolding delivery. We had all taken a different approach to the rain - I decided a jacket wasn't going to protect me so just wore a t shirt on the run in, Alison discovered her lightweight rain jacket was not really a rain jacket, and Nemia was definitely the driest with her trusty brolly. Anyway upon arrival we discovered the scaffolding truck was delayed so Holly kindly made us some hot drinks while we waited.

After the tea we helped put the roof back on the yurt (the ropes tying it on had been undone by baby foxes playing). Once this was done the scaffolding finally arrived 30 minutes late.

Sadly I had to run off to start work so I left the others to help unload the lorry. Alison reported to me that several hundred scaffolding boards were unloaded (good work!). She turned up at work covered in woodchip - probably not what her colleagues were expecting in central London.
