A smaller group went back to Ray Mill Island on what was a relatively cooler evening than previous visits!

The team there has started putting irrigation in place, so we won't need to water plants anymore #selfreliance. We got stuck in where we left them previously - cutting out logs from a pile of bush for them to be put next to the river stream.

Mike already knew what to do and was straight into it with his very sharp saw. Roberta, Didem, and Diya weren't entirely sure how best to saw but a new skill was unlocked very quickly, and we were soon in the thick of it. Teamwork makes the dream work!

Once we had a full trolley of various lengths of wood, Nivvi navigated it to the stream where task owner Shoshan laid them on the bank. The idea is to create a kind of a barrier to prevent the public from going into the water. We now know what tethering logs mean!

This evening, Diya and I spent a bit of time in the sun weeding the garden for Mrs P. She is unable to tend to her garden now and can't quite see the weeds properly. We made sure to get as many of the weeds (and none of the plants) as we could! Mrs P was very pleased and grateful.

Diya and Kanika filled in for this week's regular watering and odd jobs at the community allotment. We filled the water butts, watered all the beds and did some weeding (🤞) in the Asparagus bed.
