What a lovely day today was! Most of us met during Junior Parkrun where Linda, Julian, Khai, Aman, Marta, Ivar and Louise cheered, tokened and high fived all the kids round the 2km course before heading for coffee at the Old Cottage cafe.

We then had a walking group and a running group who headed to Mycenae Gardens where we were met by Mayuri, Arn and the Friends of volunteers who introduced us to the tasks at hand. These included sawing down branches for the dead hedge, raking and clearing ivy and brambles.

An hour of clearing and getting scratched by brambles (particularly in Louise's case) we stopped for cake which was scrumptious before a few of us went to another cafe to top off the morning! Because you cant have too much sitting down and chatting over something yummy can you?

Great to see you all and until next time.

On Wednesday we're meeting in Woolwich for a task at Dee's Nursery

And next Saturday we're back at Maryon Wilson Community Garden.

7 GoodGym-ers met at Charlton House for tonight's run in part 2 of our letterbox flyering task for the Library of Things in Woolwich. This week with some contrasting red flyers for none other than our own Library of Tasks, GoodGym!

After an ice-breaker discussing favourite snacks (always a hot topic!l we headed through Charlton Park to our destination streets.

There's not loads one can say about a flyering task, other than its a great way to get our steps in (well, up & down) and discuss the relative merits of different design doors, letterboxes and front gates. Splitting into teams meant we covered a good section of the area, under the scrutiny of several neighbourhood cats, and soon had run out of both leaflets & time.

Thanks all & catch up soon!

On Saturday there's gardening at the Hospice, Sunday we're gardening at Mycenae House and next Wednesday we're helping out at Dee's Nursery

Four Goodgymers, the Mayor of Greenwich (he wanted a day off from his robes and chain of office!) and a couple of other lovely locals tackled a mountain of rubbish along the Woolwich Road. We seem to have a secret cider drinker who has a SERIOUS habit and almost filled a recycling sack with their cast-off cans alone.

The area in front of Selco hadn't been cleared for a while so we managed another three bags of recycling (more cans) and six of general waste. Someone had discarded their chippie dinner and someone else their pants, but now you'd never know!

Thanks everyone! #lovewhereyoulive
