It was another glorious night in Wandsworth and we had a lovely group willing to brave the heat and skip the park to instead do some good! We did take a moment to discuss our favourite summer treats however with ice cream and quiche taking a joint lead! Maybe not to be consumed together...

We were back to Balham Nursery where the Head Teacher gave us a short history lesson around the school's existence since 1935. Impressive! Unfortunately they have managed to build up a lot of stuff in that time and it was our job to move it all out so that it can then be sorted by the staff. Everyone got stuck in very quickly to the packed shelves and we were amazed by how much we could move in the time (see how full that room is!). Our favourite discovery was by Matthew who was spooked by a skeleton discovered on top of the closet!

We were well looked after and also heard about how much the children enjoyed using their new playground space following our last job and how well the space was used for a summer fair.

There was just about time for some quick exercises (including voluntary tricep dips and squat holds!) before we ran off into the night. Well done GG Wandsworth!

I spent the afternoon helping Mrs J tidy up her back garden, focusing on weeding, trimming overgrown bushes, raking up leaves, and bagging all the garden waste. It was steady, satisfying work—there’s something oddly rewarding about watching a messy space slowly transform with each trimmed branch and cleared patch of weeds. The broom definitely earned its keep, and by the end, the garden looked far more cared for and open.
