Monday saw Good Gym back at Seniors for one of our favourite decorating tasks, namely putting up the decorations for the Halloween party. We were met by the amazing Di who soon put us to work.

This wasn't a task for Arachnophones or Chiroptophobes (yes I had to look that one up) as many of the decorations featured spiders and bats. There was also plenty of ectoplasm to go round, some witches hats to put up in the entrance hall and there were monstrous and bloody sheets to finish the job. Before you knew it the place was looking like something from one of George A Romero's nightmares and Di was suitably amazed that only 5 people put up so many decorations so quickly.

And the real horror is that after all that work we have to go back next week and take everything down again. Only joking, this was a really fun task and our efforts were truly appreciated

Seven GoodGymers showed up in the cold, autumnal weather to join the usual gang, including Otis the dog, at the pet cemetery, and leaves was yet again the key word for the task.

With our usual dumping ground soon to be removed because it’s become a suspected rat residence, we bagged up mountains of leaves and wheeled them away on a trolley. The rats’ days of rent-free living are soon numbered.

The rain had the decency to wait until we left, and before we did, some of us harvested a little thyme, which is now presumably adding flavour to a nice and warm autumn dish while the rain pours down outside. 🍁🍂
