Loving these warm May evenings. Always great to combine that with the riverside location of St John's Court. This is a retirement home, with some care provided to guests as well. What they need us for is help, for a wide range of things that they struggle to sort themselves.

Since it was a nice evening, they had us gardening. Three GoodGymmers, Mary, Stephen and Meyrick arrived to support.

Much of it was weeding - the patio needed the weeds clearing between the mosaic of stones, a job for which they provided a rather handy tool (battery powered of course, GoodGym won't ever ask you to use electrically powered devices). Mary made quick work of this, and then moved onto more traditional weeding, with hands and gloves.

Stephen assisted Mary, whilst Meyrick was pruning the bushes of any rogue saplings spawned from the local trees that had become invasive.

A few GoodGym members came together to do online yoga.

Yoga helps initiate nitric oxide (NO) release primarily through deep breathing, static holds, and gentle muscular engagement, which stimulate the endothelium (inner lining of blood vessels) and improve vascular function.
