Last night we tackled a mission at South Mitcham Community Association, to clear a large garden bed and prepare it for planting. With spotlights and all the right tools for the job we were in for a real treat as the rain held off and we got busy unearthing lots of weeds and roots, filling many bags, and salvaging a few potatoes! 🥔

With the bed cleared in just 30 minutes, the team took the initiative and set about tackling the rest of the garden area, then tidied up and went on our way. 

Most of us joined the group run back to base via the beautiful River Wandle. While it will undoubtedly be a stunning path in the spring and summer daylight, running it as a group at night provided an excellent fitness boost.

A big welcome to Ivo, on your first Merton task, and we hope to see you again soon. Well done team, we totally aced those spuds!

On a drizzly day I stopped off on my lunchtime run to work to see Mr R who needed help plugging his Sony Bravia TV into his new soundbar. We had a good 45mins of fiddling with cables and then fiddling with settings to get things properly set up. I headed back into the drizzle, binned the packaging on my way out and hopefully left Mr R with long term high quality sound he can enjoy long into the future. The tale ended with me just about making it to work for my meeting at 2.30.
