Chilly Easter Sunday and 56 children finished Pitshanger Junior Parkrun. Jacquie has a cold soSteph Ducat was solo. Tailwalker today and the was drama on the run floor. The last 3 children regrouped and all started crying 😢, but they managed to go through the finishing funnel and get their tokens and a small egg. The squirrels in the park were in numbers but did not manage to steal any easter eggs. Happy Easter everyone.

Joined Gurseva in front of ZImbabwe House to set tables up and hand out hot food. Lovely lentle soup and curry with rice and samosas. to top this we handed out plums and some chocolate cakes as Easter. The curry went down like a treat and one customer said it was hot 🔥...too hot for him to handle?Hot or not, all the food went in an hour.

Been a while since Mr P needed Goodgym. We usually help in the back garden, but today was different. I know what happened last summer : Goodgym were here!! Today I had several tasks to perform in 90 minutes. Mr P asked me to open a bag of compost and tip it into a massive container, which we were going to use afterwards. He handed me around 15 rose shoots to be planted in the front garden along the fence. Once planted, I used the rain water to refresh them. Then Mr P came out with a drill : a drill in the garden?!Yes!!It was for me to drill holes in the buckets that we were going to plant more shoots. The flower pots had holes already so all good. Once completed , I was provided with 17 shoots to be planted in these buckets - raspberry shoots which Mr P got on eBay for £10 in total - great deal. Ready, set, shoot : soil in buckets, shoots planted and some compost - fresh shoots in the block or the shoot squad? I was then tasked to water some of the plants and Mr P said the tap was in the back garden - I turned it on, went to the front and no water coming out of the hose!! What is wrong ? Went to have a look to find that the hose was in 2 parts _ had to find the joint and put it back before I could water the shoots.

Cloudy Saturday with a small drizzle of rain, but Goodgym present including first timer Kirsteen. What a place to start your Goodgym journey. Then we had the usual suspects to volunteer at Horseden or where they here just for the pizzas?!At least we know that Steph Ducat and Ashley were. Richard for the craft beer? Penny didn't stay for food but went for takeaway hot drink. Elsa had 2 tasks for us which one only required 1 Goodgymer to help John. Afshin volunteered and found himself moving railway sleepers and digging holes to plant massive poles - think he had a great work out. The others followed Elsa with tools all the way to the top of the hill - great view of Ealing. We then earned our scars following a battle with black thorns. Cleared an area of blacktorns and settled them on top of a natural fence behind the fence. A few scratches on legs and arms, but we won the battle. We all rolled down the hill to get lovely food and refreshments. Last but not least : Penny will be part of the black T-shirt gang as reached 50 good deeds today!!Congrats.
