The Walk-in Shed

7 Goodgymmers made their way to lend Leyla at Living Under One Sun a hand in sorting out their external storage area.

The 'everybody make some noooooiiiise' corner

Dr Niamh is a shy and quiet member of the team, blink and you'll miss her. check notes Oh, no, wait, it says here that she's actually one of the naughtiest members of the squad and you'll know you're doing a task with her because the laughter will drift across site at about 10lpms (laughs per minute). And last night she laughed her way through her 100th Good Deed with GGH. Hero! We're so lucky to have you.

Also worthy of celebration is the fact that Julie joined us for a mid-week task on the back of completing 10 marathons in 10 days. I guess she just felt like running. Let us not speak of the fact that she was more nimble on her feet than a few of her GG colleagues. Rock star!

Shed Zeppelin

Gramps may or may have not spent a summer in the mid 90's fiddling with old records to test the ancient urban legend that if you play Led Zeppelin's Stairway to Heaven backwards, you can hear all sorts of weird lyrics about Satan and spooky shenanigans in a little tool shed. Well, luckily, you don't have to read this paragraph backwards to find out that some spooky shenanigans did indeed take place in a little tool shed in Tottenham last night as we helped Layla sort out the external storage areas at Living Under One Sun.

Having organically formed a human chain, our Goodgymers made quick work of emptying the little tool shed and lining up the contents on the field. Along with Leyla, we then did a very loose inventory check of things that were good to keep, things that needed a bit of repairing, and things that needed to go in the bin. This was the only time in the whole evening's proceedings where the effects of Julie's heroic running feats reared their head. You see, Badgym™ extraordinaire and prolific putting-people-in-binner Julie didn't even suggest we put any of her colleagues in a bin at this point. I guess she was tired and human after all. :)

Speaking of bins, at this juncture a second team splintered off and was sent on their way by Leyla with very loose instructions and a lack of black bags to sort out the bin storage area. Shenanigans ensued. While Charlie and John took the job seriously. Centurion Niamh and Alex spent a good few minutes trading jokes about wood and whatnot. Having eventually secured a steady source of bin liners, our team ended up doing a great job.

Finally, Sarah and Julie put away in the tool shed all the things that were salvageable - but not before Julie had felt like her old self again and climbed into a cage for sheds and giggles. Badgym™ Represent!

We then celebrated our Niamh with a card, some toys, and vegan fruitcakes before Leyla cracked open the hardcore stuff: the sweetest pecan pie Gramps has ever tasted. Incredible.

We then said our goodbyes but not before Leyla sent us on our way with bags of fresh mushrooms.

A good night.

Join us next week for more fun and games.
