"Boldy going... where we went on Monday!"

Captian's log, star-date 11 April 2013. The job was a last minute one so we teleported back to the Arch gallery and set off running back to Spitalfield's City Farm who had been invaded by an alien species - well, some imported tree trunks anyway. The job was to move the pile out of the way of the farm's community van, which was currently blocked in by the delivery. The pile weighed 8 tonnes and consisted of twenty huge tree trunks about three metres long. We had to Klingon hard so as not to drop them - we didn't want the anonymous 'extra' in the red onsie getting killed off too early in the episode. But after half an hour of heavy lifting we had moved the pile to various locations across the farm so that they were out of the way until they could be placed in their final resting places as part of the new covered walkways around the planting beds. Some might say we achieved the task at warp speed and that GoodGym's Enterprise down at the farm was nothing short of science fiction - but no, it was real. Well done all. Live Long and prosper ;-)
