A beautiful summer's evening for our last daylight group run this year to Brunswick Cemetery.

After the mental challenge if folding dumpy sacks so they take up less space, came the physical task of path clearing and bramble bashing. The rain before a dry day meant pretty much perfect weather for clearing weeds, and even a pretty big sycamore sapling was liberated from the ground.

After tidying up, The Stable was the venue for GoodGym Eats and a game to try to name the famous Bristolians in the Last Supper style mural.

A great night and a short report as I have a monster headache/migraine.

4 GoodGymers met on a sunny Friday morning at Windmill Hill City Farm. It was great to meet Will visiting from Cardiff.

After 40 mins of weeding around the entrance area we were on our way.

Three shiny new GoodGymmers joined the Bristol Group Run which, this week, was 40% "starts with" F - Faye and Finbar were the new Fs on the block with Ciaran being the newest GoodGymmer for only a couple of minutes in Queen Square.

All three were up for joining the running group so set off with Vaguely Northern Darren in the lead, Richard B backmarking and Freya and Timtryingvto match each other's stride length.

By the time the walking group of Melanie, Richard G and Frances arrived (having not been accosted by any small dogs taking umbridge at Richard G this week) the front of St Werburgh's Community Centre was already looking less weedy, or at least all the weeds were now in piles waiting for the two very-well-used brooms to sweep by.

As is so often the case with GoodGym Bristol group runs, a yoga class was taking place inside the Community Centre, right by where we were weeding and we tried really hard to be quiet-ish but we do get carried away with our chatting... Anyway, should there have been a fire, the yogis escape route would have been much less weedy than before our GG skills had been deployed.

We were soon tidying up and enjoying the Lime and Cardamom biscuits Frances had kindly baked and brought along to celebrate her 102nd good deed - very tasty, looking forward to the recipe being added to the comments. It was inly the mention of biscuits that finally made Freya and Ciaran finally stop sweeping and tidying, such dedication to the task.

We were soon Workout-bound, back through the parks and streets of Bristol and into Club Haus where we sat out by the river by choice and not because there was speed dating at the tables inside. Lots more time to chat and hear about goings on, especially Richard B's bonkers long-distance running and Darren and Melanie's long-distance travelling to parkruns.

Another great evening, everyone, and already looking forward to the next one.

Today's report is in the style of an excited school child writing about their school holiday.

I went to Brunswick Cemetery and there were some other people there. They were wearing red and were very nice. I don’t think there were any zombies there but I didn’t want to be composted so I kept moving. We cleared some paths and some bindweed and some other green things. I met the periwinkle that weren’t really periwinkle. There were no slugs or snails making squelchy noises but there was a snail that said hello. I’m not sure I’d want to be used as a military test dummy.

Anyway several dongs later it was the year 3000, but not much had changed. Glug.

Any relation to real events that took place today are merely a coincidence.

Until next time…

(thanks for thinking of the title Mel, my mind was blank)
