Our task this evening seemed a little counterintuitive for GoodGymers as we were helping remove weeds that had fought their way back through astro-turf. But for good reason, as one of the young residents of the block has an allergy to the weeds coming through, and he loves playing outside! We made quick work of neatening up the space, and even managed to clear the greenery from between the paving slabs too. Sustenance was provided, which was very much appreciated by Ness who had forgotten to eat all day!! Two teeny residents came out to check out our handywork and had fun running around and crawling over the decking.

Mrs R and Trigger needed their new coffee table assembled and GG was only too happy to help. In no time at all Dave had sorted the instructions and construction began! It is always a pleasure to follow someone else's lead and the table was double tiered, round and sturdy in minutes! All work was carefully supervised by the Trigger the cat who despite showing usual cat level enthusiasm clearly thinks Goodgym are Pawsome!

In a late change to our task we set about giving the Gibson Centre a good scrub down.

The cages were taken off the radiators, many spiders were relocated and the water was dirty in minutes. We schwooped with brooms, swished with dusters and Abby fixed the Scouts sign and hung it back up with pride. No clothing was found this time round, however the discovery of a discarded toenail more than made up for that 🤢

We made use of the echo in the hall to rendition some Sound of Music classics and took a turn at yodelling.

With thanks to Katie for giving us a list of tasks we happily crossed them off. Jazzing it up with some added French 🇫🇷 and pizza 🍕 drawings to make it look more fun! And we even found a new trophy to use for GG fun times, comment with some ideas as to what you think the award should be for. I think the first congrats is to Wilson on good deed #400!!!

Discussions around Katie trip to Oz and the recent Victorious festival filled our time and we were soon flashing the board, and then cleaning it! 😜

S and I enjoyed a steady parkrun with clear skies and sunshine. We enjoyed a drink on the peir so as not to go back to early. :)

We helped Mathilde freshen up the beautiful planters and forecourts in and around Fawcett Road.

We litterpicked, removed the dead plants, planted some baby lavender, cosmos and carnations, then added fresh soil, topped it off with mulch and then gave them a drink. With several bees and butterflies around us , delicious homemade apple cake and excellent company, it was a very enjoyable morning!
