Portsmouth Report written by Katie Carew-Robinson (she/her)
3 was the magic number today with 3 of us turning up to weed and de-litter the North End street garden and both Jane and Yvonne completing their 3rd good deed of the day (it was "only" my 2nd!)
There was plenty of litter to be picked up, no good if you have a limp litter picker, mid task adjustments were needed! Lots of cans and glass, as usual, plus a discarded takeaway, half a sandwich and some gloves! Jane got all the news (plus 20 questions) from NE local Gary, who also thanked us for our help (better than the church apparently!)
Yvonne had a garden waste bag in her car so took all the weeds as well as all the recycling back home (good deed number 4?!).
Plenty of good done and dusted in an hour then we all headed our separate ways for a well earned lunch!

Yvonne and Jane decided to clean up the shore at Eastney Lake post parkrun.
We walked around the lock, tried to set sail and cycle in our search for litter.
Yvonne wanted to borrow a boat she'd found to pick up litter that was floating away but unfortunately the tide was out and we didn't have time to wait for it to return.
Jane tried out an electric bike but didn't get very far either.
Not a big haul today, just bits of plastic, cotton buds and food wrappings.

Perfect conditions for parkwalking and tail walking at Southsea parkrun, helping the vent happen for 390 parkrunners.
A pebble photoshoot was followed by the run brief and the very busy start that eventually rippled through to us walkers. Setting off along the prom withbb by lots of chat, the sea was beautiful alongside the promenade.
Passing the yomping Royal Marine, we were also passed by the front runners, still in a big pack and looking much hotter than us peaceful walkers!
Even the gentle breeze on the return leg was lovely, and super efficient scanners meant the results were processed super fast - well done everyone!

A great morning helping the wonderful Baffins Pond Association with their dog show/ car boot. A range of tasks were undertaken by GoodGym-ers, including gazebo setup, dog agility course setup, catering setup, litter picking, sweeping, wheelbarrowing, lifting and shifting! A pedigree class event for GoodGym! A big welcome to Aster and Jerry for their first GoodGym session, hope to see you again soon!

Anne and Paul joined parkrun this morning from the 1940s and looked very dapper!
Dave handed out 48 tokens to the participants which Yvonne and Jane promptly took back. A nifty bit of multi-tasking meant that the barcodes were scanned and tokens threaded in record time!
