Treasure hunt.

Monday 13th October

Written by Nick Moore

This evening's shop for Ms S proved to be something of a mixed bag in more ways than one as her dictated over the phone list consisted of a specific Tesco ready meal, own brand antibacterial gel, Oral B 24 hr mouthwash, 3.5 strength reading glasses, replacement wipes for a Flash mop and a particular brand of socks.

Knowing that the glasses were high on the priority list, I diverted to my nearest Poundland (success!) before heading south of the river to Ms S's to try and find the rest of the items - unfortunately the ready meal and socks were nowhere to be seen in Tesco (just about every other type of sock was available...), but I managed to track down everything else, and it was good to be able to hand deliver the bag to Ms S, who, as always, was extremely grateful.

Copleston Clean 🧽✨

Wednesday 8th October

Written by Nathan Wood

It was Wednesday night - which meant group run night! Most of the crew had gathered, ready at Old Spike, but one familiar face (me!) was missing… Took me only a while (and a half) to get to Old Spike to let us all in. After a quick warm up session we set off to Copleston Church and Community Centre, a new task for us. A short run away.

Once there, we got stuck straight into a 45-minute kitchen blitz — scrubbing, wiping, shining, and probably inventing new ways to get into awkward corners. The place was sparkling (almost!) by the end, and the team at Copleston were so thankful for our help. All in all a decent run, chat, clean, and even background music as we did it — classic GoodGym Southwark vibes! Andrada even hit her 50th good deed with this run! Nice one!

Moooooore hay please

Sunday 28th September

Written by Lobo

The mission was to take old hay from the little calves and bring new one, but they did not agree and ate everything they could. They were adorable!! So we let them! We also gave them fresh water and picked up apples for the little pigglets. What a great day!

Written by Stuart Redfern

Well, it's going to be a part two. I wasn't going to plant heather in standard multigrow - it has to be ericaceous compost! Going back on Monday.
