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.

A little less dystopian future than the 1953 novel (yes, I have been down a Wikipedia rabbit hole), our task this evening took us to a very peaceful garden for a spot of weeding.

The triffids had taken over the paving, so we removed these and some other weeds between the slabs. We even had time to clear some of the stoned area, including moving a very stubborn fuschia from amongst the rocks to a much more comfortable pot.

A lovely rainbow made a brief appearance at the end of our session which felt like a little bit of a reward for a very damp task.
