We had a sunset! We saw stars because there were no clouds! We had new GoodGymmer Shubham with is for the first time! How good could this get?
As the walkers arrived they could hear the chip-chopping of the runners, already socking it to the brambles as we try to find the wall on the far side of the Burial Ground, progressing across the entire width of the previously bramble-filled space.
With Richard B swanning around somewhere soggy, Richard G took ownership of the Shears of Destruction to make excellent progress to the wall, even if he did trap himself behind the new wall of chopped bramble.
Meanwhile Cameron and Nachiket created a tunnel to the back fence after Cameron had already helped Caroline to clear the tool shed of encroaching brambles.
Whilst Vaguely Northern Darren raked up choppage, the main team were working on the latest bulk-of-brambles zone, revealing more gravestones - the whole space is looking lovely, before the brambles and nettles get a burst of energy is Spring.
The day's discovery was a babyfoot table, though it turns out only Melanie knows thats what its really called, not table football.
We all tried to learn a but of Japanese but we're finding it really hard - anyone have any tips?
More opportunities for good deeds this week, and a walk around the Light Festival on Friday, too - see you soon?

We couldn’t go to Sparks but we could celebrate an evening of NO RAIN by getting out and making our streets sparkling, or at least litter-free.
Runners set off for the Malago Greenway to help the watercourse and the walkers strides away to the edges of the City Farm (Friday morning Community Mission venue) to tackle the litter-catching hedges then along by the very swanky looking new student accommodation which seems to be by a culvert none of us have ever seen before.
As well as hauls recycling (clear bags) and litter (green bags) the walkers added a pair of boots, a pair of very soggy trainers and a sodden hoodie/hoody (?) and a shopping trolley which was duly returned to ASDAs/ASDAl and discussion ensued about Sainsburgs.
Everyone regrouped at Workout for pots of tea and an egg incident. Just your standard Tuesday evening

Who'd've thought wed have such a dry evening after torrential rain through the day?
The master plan of re-turfing (well, patchwork grassing) the damage recently caused at Brunswick Cemetery was looking doubtful but we were soon re-purposing the grass growing where it shouldn't to the bare soil where it should be growing. All a bit mucky, and trying to leave the battered shrubs to fill the gaps, there was plenty of hamstring and quad work to bend and straighten before re-laying the grass, beautifully lit by fellow GoodGymmers.
With may-a-strange look from passersby, a few did stop and chat, amazed at the idea of re-use.
Having avoided any rain at all, we packed up and, quitting while we were ahead, running and walking back to Workout before heading to Pieminister for the beat pies on a rainy gloomy day and more lovely chat - making our own sunshine.
