Double trouble for GGHaringey as we completed not one but two tasks last night, and two of our old skool Goodgymmers hit landmark numbers. Boom!

Forking Big Number Celebration Corner

Unstoppable running machine and BadGym extraordinaire Julie smashed her way through the 150 Deeds mark the only way she knows how: bashing the ground and hanging out with her hoes in North London. And she got herself a drill for her troubles too. Absolute rock star!

And good ol' Gramps has reached the ripe old age of 200 deeds. Bah humbug! <3

Bedfellows

We began the night at Traid on Wood Green High Road where Nurjehan, Niamh, Francesco, and Gramps congregated for this old fave. We came, we saw, we sorted, we tried skimpy things on, we "bought" things even though we'd forgotten to bring any money, we conquered. Boom.

We then walked to BHY where we met with Latoya, Sam, and Sarah and we ran to our second task of the evening at Chapman's Green.

When we got there, Rob from the Friends group welcomed us with the news that our task for the evening was bringing back to life a long-lost flowerbed in the middle of the park.

Our Goodgymmers wasted no time, weeding, delineating the bed, digging up and turning up the soil, chucking sods about, planting over 50 lavenders and 50 geraniums, and tidying up after ourselves as we went along. We did such a lovely job and were so close to finishing when we hit 8pm that not even Nurjehan 'it's-forking-8pm-time-to-go-home-or-else' Khan had any complaints when we overran by a few minutes to get the job done.

A lovely, sunny evening.

We then retired to the meadow for selfies, drilling, and a natter.

Boom.
