Bianca and I arrived promptly at Miss B’s from different directions, and once we’d been invited to sit on a large leather sofa in her front room, we asked exactly what she wanted moving around the room.

Her plan was to swap the sofa and the cabinet around so they sat on opposite sides to their current locations, and move a leather armchair to where it fits…

Bianca quickly had the plan of action mapped out, and as long as we kept moving everything in a clockwise direction it would all work out…and it did, even if the cabinet proved ridiculously heavy until we emptied a whole tonne of papers from it (which we fooolishly put onto the still to be moved sofa…).

Miss B was delighted with our efforts. - always great when a plan comes together and all the pieces fit.

On Monday night three committed GoodGymers (including newcomer Emma - welcome!) wrapped up the sweltering bank holiday with a not-so-light task at Olden Community Gardens.

We perhaps weren't quite the crew Charles might have imagined for the job (where were all the men!?) - but the three of us weren't about to let a little heavy lifting (or a heatwave) get in our way.

Together (with a little help from a wailing wheelbarrow), we managed to lug not one but four hefty sleepers* down the steep steps to the bottom of the garden, ready to form the stage at their annual music festival on Sunday 7th June.

You can now sign up to volunteer at the music festival here. :)

• Google tells me they're c. 90kg each!

Today I visited a resident of Islington to complete the task of clearing and tidying her garden so the lady could make use of the outdoor space.

It has taken two visits to complete the back garden, but today folks I managed to work on the front garden and complete the task.

Hopefully it allow the lady to enjoy her garden in the coming sunny days.

Another enjoyable lunchtime at the Elizabeth House Food Hub, helping customers select food, and clearing up afterwards. There is always a friendly buzz about the place.

By the time the session ends, some of the fruit and vegetables is looking a little past its prime. So it is sent off to be composted by and for local growers - and the food cycle starts again.

Thursday evening is Achilles UK evenings. Guides and VI runners meet then run together with different goals for the day, but also to socialise and have a good chat. Despite the typical British weather loads turned up for another great session in Hyde Park. Goodgymers present as usual.

Today I had the pleasure of helping a resident of Islington to tidy their garden, so they can enjoy the outdoor space.

We have been to this resident before and although that was a few weeks ago now the ground had become full of new weeds.

I did manage to uproot some stumps today and all is well in the back garden now.

Epic!
