Goodgym were back to help UFO s -Urban Fox Orchestra Steelband break down the carnival truck after Notting Hill carnaval. Maria and Steph Ducat braved the wind to help with the steel arms - steelpans, drum and other equipment had to be taken down for the high truck and put back in storage. The crew gave us a warm welcome and in no time the truck had a different look than when it arrived after the carnival. The 2 Goodgymers have arms of steel - lifting and lowering the steel drums then wheeling then to the storage in Acton

Another Session in Mrs A back garden : found more golf balls, a winnie the Poo ball, a bicycle wheel, a trolley, a hand made trolley used in the garage and a bench that we just made free of the bindweed and brambles. Bench engraved for Mrs A brother. We now have a clear path to the back and now we can see the slabs that were put there ages ago. Green way to the back garden. Mrs A will be able to sit on the bench when she comes out of hospital

Alan cycled and Steph Ducat ran to Acton Junior parkrun where both were marshalling this Sunday. As I was early I had the pleasure to put together the table. We had a few speedy children this morning and the girls beat the boys to the finish line. 1st and 2nd position for the girls. well done to all runners and walkers.

Weekly visit at Mr T and our usual chat. Today mainly about foods from the world.

Back to Mr A but this time to do the small front garden : weeding and tidy up. A bit wet but life goes on. Mr A couldn't find the tools so started like last week with pure brutal force until he came back out with the tools. Cleared all the weeds and did a tidy up in front as rubbish just dumped in the garden. Garden looks refreshed now.

Saturday morning is Parkrun: wet one today but everyone was still up for running or walking. I finished dead last - 98 out of 98!!And the worse is that I was being lapped!!😅😅 Normal as today I was the tail walker - always finishes last. A lot of familiar faces including Jacquie from Goodgym Ealing who was doing parkrun with a pram - not her child but her daughters baby. Jags was there as usual and we had a golden mic 🎤 for the Race director to use.
