Tonight Kati Law and I created soap making kits flavoured with calendula, lavender and rose petals. Its was a first GoodGym Huddersfield, a nice indoor task helping S2R create the kits for sale before the forthcoming festive period.

Tonight we made a library! S2R had a commission to build a local book exchange/library, so called GoodGym in to help.

Under the supervision of Byron from S2R we measured, sawed and drilled creating a very passable little library. It may take a little finishing off next week, but its well on the way.

Thanks to tonight's runners and carpenters, Kati Law, Ben Godfrey and Wendy Redmile.

A Saturday morning spent with Golcar Environment Group clearing one of their many ginnels, gave us some welcome exercise. Shifting and bagging soil left the site ready for gravelling, which would make the ginnel look a lot better and be less prone to weeds.

Thanks as always for the efforts of GoodGym faithfuls Kati Law and Ben Godfrey.

I love Snow Island, GoodGym's adopted section of the Riverside Way. I especially love it when there's not too much litter to pick.

This evening Kati Law and I had a quick spin around the Island and were pleased to find very little litter. Snow Island tided we did a bit more litter pucking around the student accommodation where the pickings were somewhat richer.

We were doing some housework at Hillhouse tonight, cleaning up the playing field there. About 12 months ago we did a big blitz on the playing field removing a huge amount of fly tipping and general litter.

Somewhat encouragingly the rubbish had not returned in such large volumes over the last year, although Kati Law, Ben Godfrey and still spent an hour in the rain tonight to keep the field tidy and safe for the local kids to use safely.
