9 quick juniors sped around the 2k course on the coolest Sunday for many weeks, hurrah!
Over at Waterloo Park Juniors 136 juniors enjoyed the same. Well done Emily & Brad for volunteering there.

what a lovely cool temperature this morning & 351 people agreed & ventured to Catton Park including our very own Maddy (&bump) doing her 200th parkrun .

We arrived in good time for Mr. D's sofa move and were delighted to find the replacement chair had been taken into the flat already, so we were only focussing on taking the old one away. It was an incredibly hot day and the work was massively sweat inducing.

The chair wasn't too heavy and we managed to get it down the stairs fairly easily, parking it next to the building's bins for collection. We then moved the much much heavier replacement chair into position and we were on our way.

Mr and Mrs D were incredibly happy with the results!

It was a short trip to Mr J's house for this task, but in really intense heat.

Mr J had trouble with lots of leaves blowing in from the outside into his porch, with him unable to vacuum as much as he'd like. The leaves from the oak nearby had been doing some shedding due to the hear. I got stuck in with a broom, dustpan and brush and cleared as much of an area as possible around his main door, this helped him massively and he was really grateful, by the time I left there were not many leaves left to blow in at all!

A return to the garden of Miss N, to carry on clearing her garden and this time, to focus on retrieving the art ornaments that have been buried by the Periwinkle. We cleared loads, with Jax making extra effort in lugging the cuttings to the top of the garden.

Load and loads of ornaments came out of the garden, some which have not been seen for years!

This was a fun task cutting back a challenging hedge that was stopping Mr. S's new washing machine from being delivered.

The hedge was very thorny and we hacked away at it with our secateurs until the path way had been restored, with thorns sticking into our trainers as we went.

We made good progress and Jax did a great job of sweeping up the thorns and getting them into a conical shaped bin store outside the front so the bits of hedge could die down before being moved on later.
