Chippin' In

Greeted in East London with some dreamy awe-inspiring dusk hues. That gentle fusion of reds, oranges and pinks...makes you just want to get a scoop of it and lick it off an ice cream cone. Just me?

18 of us in total this week. And just as well, always a proper old fashioned, yet rewarding workout at the adventure playground. Loads of gyms now mimic this type of hard labour workout. With chopping, pushing and lifting in their stuffy, mirrored wall to wall exercise rooms (must.see.myself).  Difference is, you guys do the workout, and get stuff done on top of that

Random Weekly Question: "What's your favourite tear-jerking film?" Bamby, Up, Paddington Bear, The Snowman, Finding Nemo. Cartoons are hitting the nerve with you guys! We also had Pearl Harbour, Bridget Jones, Rocky, Forest Gump and a few others. Open those tear ducts up and let it flow people.

Fast forward 20mins, we had got to our location and absorbed instructions. Neatening up a wood chip zone with smooth clean lines. Shifting a tonne of bricks via a delightfully efficient five person train. Weeding in some dark and awkward place. Plus shifting an unwieldy bench to a better home. All done with cheer and aplomb. In fact, you were so efficient that we boshed out an interval to celebrate. A little ramp-up run sesh, good for your soul....but equally importantly your heart/lungs/running musculature.

Thanks for turning out and chipping in. Sharon has been super pro active and helped put me in contact with new tasks. If anyone else has any ideas please do email me.

You fine folk have a solid Thursday, a better Friday and never-ending weekend.

See you beauts next week
