The Subterranean Homeless Shelter Blues

Soundtrack to tonight's report - lyrics below for your consideration

Gramps's in the basement

Catching up on oxygen

GGH on the pavement

Staring in full wonderment

The man with the blue bag

thanking Zeus

he ain't got a bad cough

Wants to get it paid off

Look out K

It's the burpees you did

God knows when

But you're doing'em again

You better duck down the alley way

Lookin' for a new friend

A man in the coonskin cap, down in the basement

Wants eleven burpees, you only got ten....

Aaaaaaanyway..... This is the story of the GG that went up a hill and came down a mountain

11 Goodgymmers met at the Cranwood Homeless Shelter to help them sort out the basement level, which they're getting ready to welcome new guests.

But in order to get there it is an inescapable truth that no matter which way you go, you're gonna have to pay the hill tax. Some of our Goodgymmers ran there together, others ran solo, some cycled - but all of them had something in common: the warm glow of the big fat hill sweats. Anyway, do good, get fit, right?

Jacek from Cranwood welcomed us with opened arms and took us to the basement where not one but two mountains of clothes awaited us. We were tasked with transporting them to a different part of the building so the rooms could be transformed into bedroom.

And we transported those mountains, let me tell you.

Not only that, but we sorted them, folded them, and piled them as much as we could. We also cleaned and hoovered the now empty bedrooms so Jacek and the team can get on with turning them into 5 Star rooms for the esteemed guests.

What's that coming over the hill? Is it a good job well done or what? Boom!

Time for photos was made, as well as elbow tippy tappy shenanigans and then because this lot are gluttons for punishment, a bunch of them agreed to run back down the hill with me! Scenes!

Next week, fun times at Tottenham Green - it'd be almost rude if you don't join us! :)
