A second visit to Sparks after our preliminary Massage Moving on Monday night, this time moving a clothing concession upstairs (going online) to create the space for the massage concession to move into - a veritable feast of weird and wonderful clothing items and props all needing to be boxed or bagged up and shifted up two floors - fortunately with the help of a lift.

John had let us in, Pavel (PJ) was helping to show us what and where whilst eating his dinner of a tub of Cadbury ice-cream and sharing a bar of chocolate with various GoodGymmers.

It was a pretty standard "make it up as we go along, who knows what we'll find" task for Kingsley and George's first ever GG task - we hope the mystery has created a great impression and you'll be back with us soon!

Many single shoes were found and moved upstairs before a suspiciously similar set of single shoes were found - that's art for you.

Displayed t-shirts were unhooked by the use of Melanie's crutch, boxes and bags were found, emptied of literal rubbish and stuffed with probably-not-rubbish and moved upstairs using a sack trolley, a flat-bed trolley and a shopping trolley - we were totally trollied! Clothes on rails with wheels were easy movers, other haphazard shapes requiring a much more skilled transportation and many items slid where possible as we weren't sure they withstand a GoodGym energetic carry.

I'm not sure anyone tracked the number of steps involved - it will have been a lot, but we met Lauren and Ben who were involved in the Massage concession - Lauren being the masseur and Ben being the helper - who have said they'd love to see GGers in store where they'll be offering back, neck and shoulder massages as well as other treatments, now further away from the big glass doors - much improved privacy!

With Pavel shoving the final items into the second floor space, we were soon heading back out of the now cleared space, and back to Workout, off home or off to November Eats at the excellent Pieminister - it's officially Pie Season, thanks to Richard B. And happy birthday to Roddy for his big 50 on Saturday - his six pack looking good on it in the lift.

We know it's great to get out running and walking when the nights are drawing in and its dark so early - we're proud to support This Girl Can's campaign to make sure women and girls can get out and run (or walk) no matter if its light or dark. Let's keep getting out there.

So off to the Children's Scrapstore for whatever Hallowe'en adventures they had in store for us.

Phones, mops, brushes (but no witches broom) and a vacuum cleaner that you could live in. That was the order of things this evening. Now for a short poem:

A tangled web of wire.
Handset matching causing ire.
A mop to clean.
So mighty, yet so lean.
A brush in a rush.
And a vaccum.
So big it doth loom.

An evening full of fun.
Looking forward to another one.

It's definitely dark at 6.45 now, a twilight/twiiterlight walk and run to Brunswick Cemetery where we met Di and the tree popper/root puller. It's a genius invention for clamping on roots and using a fulcrum to lever the root out - physics meets gardening!

There was lots going on at the spiral with path being widened - the rain had made the ground give up the weeds more easily but the gravel path was dry enough to sit or kneel on - perfect for weeding and chatting GoodGym style.

Everyone who'd been at the task was also coming to Eats so an incentive to get tidied up and on our way for more chat and an unexpected casual game of dominos at Turtle Bay, though the domino rally was thwarted by the real wood unevenness of the tables. There was identification of the reggae versions of 80s tunes, there was awe at Richard G's hand-knitted bee race medal, there was planning for keeping Melanie sane-ish after her foot operation. Marianne took over responsibility for the Loaned Padlock, promising shed cone along on Tuesday except the one where she's Morris Dancing for a TV dating show's fake summer fair. All good slightly bonkers loveliness. Standard stuff for GG Bristol.
