Newham Report written by Brahma Pochee
Legitimate t-shirt weather yesterday, possibly for the first Wednesday this year. Jack, Brad, Louise and I jogged in a north easterly direction towards the mural. On route we discussed our favourite crisps: Brannigans, Mccoys - Cheese and Onion, Kettle Chips - Salsa and Mesquite. Other points of conversation were Jack's 100mile walk, The Hammer's and the Europa Conference League, what defines a crisp, Honiton and Jarvis Cocker at the BRIT awards.
Joined by Rosa, Paul, Shaz and Kev at the wall, we lingered for a bit, then tried to open the anti graffiti tub, which we were tasked with applying to the wall. After finally managing to pry it open, when Jack precisely whacked down a roller a millimeter from my lovely hands onto a worriedly held screw driver...we found out the liquid had solidified. A very unfortunate user error, hopefully they can get more and we can find a Wednesday in the coming weeks.
The contingency plan was rather well organised, we shipped over to The Up Garden and completed a reshuffle of the yard corner. Moving half a tonne bag of sand, propping up some fences, relocating some crates and wooden planks then finally bagging a lot of rubble. Our octet made light work of it, but I suspect without us that would have taken a rather long time.
Next week, our old haunt - Cody Dock, need our help setting up for an event. Sign up here to lend a hand to this canal-side community gem.
Till then,

Just a quartet of us this week at Abbey Gardens, we hopped on over and caught up on weekend exploits. Luckily no clambering over fences required this week as the gardens were open and Xuan was there to virtually lead us.
Our job was to hack back the unruly grasses and climbers that were encroaching on the plants in the stone beds. Using hands, forks and trowels we made a respectable dent for four people, but we all agreed this job needed more firepower and time. I'm sure it will get gradually done in the weeks to come.
Just awaiting confirmation from Up Garden for next week. Look forward to spotting some of you at The Night of The 10k PB's on Saturday.
Till then,
