For the second time this week the bed needed its daily drink to cope with the unprecedented temperatures. Armed with the trusted wheelbarrows and new, shiny watering cans and buckets. 5 goodgymers set to work and hydrated the bed with plenty of water. See you all again on Friday.

Today we arrived at the goodgym flowerbed to continue the task of preserving life in the ongoing heat. The Thames water level seems to be dropping/ taking a hit. Our swans also came to say goodbye morning.

Goodgymers from different areas collected and dropped off for the food bank whilist doing their own shopping.

This evening Levita and myself convined at the Thames to collect the life giving food for our friends in the plot, that give so much joy to passerbys with their vibrant colours, all strategically placed by Claire. They were most thankful as some were fading in the heat. The swans were once again circulated, I'm sure they were saying " Not again". We were still there when the last boat passed, so all the wildlife reclaimed the Thames as their home by spreading out over the width of the Thames.

This evening the 2 of us met to water this lovely colourful plot again as the heat carries on. We had some curious onlookers probably wondering what we were doing with their playground source. It was good to see, like goodgym members they all work together to support each other, this was shown when others arrived to provide a shield from the swell of the boats. Mission accomplished on both sides.

This morning, bright eyed Farzeen and myself arrived to water the goodgym flower bed to help the plants in the battle against the heat. They are helping each other by grouping together as a team, as long as no arghy bargy comes between them they will be there to fight another day 😀
