It was nice to meet Mrs D today she needed a food parcel urgently from the Food bank. I phoned her in advance to find what she urgently needed armed with this I was on my way to the food bank .I soon had her parcel and was on my way to her once there she was so grateful after a chat I was on my way knowing she would be OK.

So the rain held off for tonight's session and what a fun session it was! Runners Graeme, Daryl and Caprice met at King's Park for the group run to the task. Eleanor made her own way their with a run along the seafront, literally on the sand! We love her determination. Tonight's session was to help The Friends of Boscombe Chine Garden clean and paint their wooden hut located in the community gardens. The runners were greeted by Jane and Rosemary who had already started clearing away the overgrown bamboo and shrubs. Graeme, Daryl and Caprice got to work clearing away the dust and cobwebs. Eleanor arrived ready to start the good bit.... painting!! Starting with the front of the hut, Daryl and Eleanor tackled one side, whilst Caprice and Graeme painted the other. It's amazing how much they achieved, the GoodGymers, Jane and Rosemary successfully finished the front part of the hut, it looked amazing and the gang will return Monday 5th August to attempt another side of the cabin.

Three Goodgymmers, Daryl, Keith and Lea, turned up at Tosh to help finish off the circle tiling in the community garden. Taping off the tile of various sizes with varying reliefs was a rather tedious job. But… once the ingenious system thought up by Lea was in place, that sticky job was done in about half an hour! Mind you Keith and Daryl were working at a breathless pace to keep up with her. Then came the even stickier, gooey-er job of piping the grouting and of smoothing the grouting in between the tiles. A messy job, but with a clean looking tiled wall at the end, well, we hope so. We won’t see the end result till everything is dry! And the nicest tile among all the beautifully grafted tiles??? The Goodgym tile, of course!
