Started on clearing the garden for Mr M, lots of brambles and an awful lot of rain this morning. Made good progress and had a nice chat afterwards.

Life can be unpredictable and it’s how you react to it that counts. Case in point: a group of GoodGymers braved one of our longest and hilliest regular runs to Seniors Centre, only to find that… our hosts were a no-show and our task was cancelled.

Nil desperandum, though, as we were just one more climb away from Blythe Hills Fields, where we were greeted not only by the regular views across SE London but also a help-yourself bag dispenser – this could mean only one thing… an impromptu litter-pick!

Whilst the bags were small, so was our available time and, as it turned out, the amount of litter to be picked. This all worked out nicely for a small group with 10 – 15 mins to kill before the long run home.

Apologies must go to Kirsti who, having been told after her first 2 tasks with the group (BOTH litter-picking) that we DO do different things… I promise it’s true!
