Last night, 9 of us headed out for what turned out to be quite the ponding experience.
Our mission was to give the pond some much-needed TLC. There was plenty of hard work involved, including clearing out the weeds and digging out the stubborn ones, trimming back the ivy, and giving the area around the tomato plants a good weed.
Mark had been endeavored to take it easy on those shoulders, but of course, he couldn't help getting stuck in and digging deep to get to the root of the issue. As he reported today: "digging up those plants definitely took its Pond of Flesh from me.”
There was plenty of newt-ural territory covered in the comments, with everyone getting involved and coming up with increasingly terrible (and therefore brilliant) pond puns. 🐸🤓
The only downside was that it got dark within a few minutes, making it rather difficult to see what we were doing, but we managed to keep the pondemonium under control and no one fell in so that's a success in my book!
A really great difference made last night - thank you everyone - let's not let all these puns water down the achievement… 😉
On Saturday as well as the Parkruns, we've got Clearing up at the Pet Cemetery and weeding at Hervey Road
On sunday we've got Clean up Charlton.
Until next time!

Nine GoodGym Greenwichers joined the Friends of Plumstead Common Allotments last night for a satisfying session of clearing an abandoned allotment.
After a hilly-er than expected run we met Dan who had lots of tools at the ready and armed with with strimmers, loppers and sheers, we spent 40 minutes tackling the overgrowth. We lopped off as many brambles as we could and strimmed the long grass (#thinktick 😉) and gradually the pile of cuttings grew and the space felt clearer.
Well done team - the plot is now one step closer to being brought back into use and we got a decent workout while doing it!
A big thank you to the Friends of Plumstead Common Allotments for having us along. We’ll likely be back to continue the job!
Coming up...
On saturday we have helping at Maryon Wilson Community Garden
On sunday we have maintenance at Westcombe Woodlands
Next Wednesday we're leafleting for the Library of Things in Woolwich.
Until next time! ☺️
