Bristol Report written by Aline (she/her)
Today I had the privilege to spend a few hours in Ms. R's garden. She welcomed me with a lovely smile and showed me the task. My mission? Pruning the old rose bush, get rid of weed and lots of blackberry canes that were suffocating the beautiful Willow. What started off what started off as a normal gardening tasks unveiled into a tribute to a long lost beloved cat, Mr J.B. Bare with, I'll get to that part. Pruning the old rose bush was quick and easy.The blackberry branches...well, not as delightful (as you can imagine). When green bag number one was full, I noticed that the supposedly empty bag number two was moving. There it was: a lovely cat making me company and giving me lots of purrrrrrr. Not gonna lie, I have soft spot for cats and almost lost my focus. But wait! That's not Mr. J.B. After one or two minutes, maybe more, enjoying the purring, I went back to save the Willow from all those tangles. In the middle of the leaves, and branches there was a black metal object. It tool me a while to free it and then I realized it was shaped as cat. So I asked Ms R if she'd like me to keep it. Her eyes lit up and she said: "yes, please!". So she told me all about her beloved Mr J.B. - her companion cat for 22 years that had passed. The black metal cat was actually a tribute she made long ago to honour Mr J.B's memory. I asked her where to keep it and we found a lovely spot in the middle of her back garden. She was grateful and my heart war jumping with joy. That's a Sunday that I'll treasure, hopefully she will to. Thanks GoodGym for making this possible! Cheers everyone!

Aline (she/her) completed their first weekend mission.
Aline has forgone the usual weekend routine. Instead of lie-ins, roasts and strolls around the park Aline has dropped everything to run a GoodGym mission for someone who needed help. Respect

Aline joined me for a follow up task to finish off pegging down the membrane that had been laid in Ms Cโs garden.
Armed with fresh packets of pegs and a hammer each we set about securing the membrane so that it doesnโt flap about in the wind.
Having quickly completed our task it was great to natter over a cup of tea and snacks with Ms C and her daughter about Bristol music venues and monkey poop coffee! ๐๐ฉ

Oh, and I've done my research. In my country, the expensive poop coffee come from birds hahaha

I'll stick with my non-poop coffee.... hah Good job, both!

She won't have to worry about the mud when retrieving something from her shed in the back garden.

It was great to team up with Aline today who was doing her second GoodGym mission is as many days. Nice!
We had been asked to move some boxes up into the loft for Ms S and we discovered a few problems - very little loft space, a lack of boarding in the loft and quite a distance from the small step ladder into the loft.
We took it in turns to stand on tiptoe to survey the area before agreeing that Aline would climb up into the space with me acting as the hoist!
After a couple of kicks in the head ๐ we eventually mastered it, as Aline put her organisational skills to good use and managed to cram as many bags and boxes up there as possible.
We may return if some more boarding can be put down to allow some more items to be stored up there!
Great fun too!
