Mrs A needed her front and back gardens tidied up for summer and two Goodgymmers were happy to take on a mission on a lovely Saturday morning. A previous GG team had visited last year and must have done an excellent job, as we found that the garden was still in great shape and only needed some weeding and trimming. Mridula had brought a pair of gardening gloves that would make Michael Jackson jealous, but Mrs A had all the tools and equipment we needed, so we'll have to wait to see those in action.

The second part of the mission involved unpacking a new microwave for Mrs A. We discovered to our delight, that it was a talking microwave (Mrs A is partially sighted) - "just like Knight Rider" according to Mridula. With the theme tune to Knight Rider in my head, we headed off to enjoy the rest of our weekend.
