This week we welcomed Iain and Mike to GoodGym for their first ever mission! Iain is visiting from London while Mike is a litter-picking maestro, travelling all around the city to make it sparkle. We also all gave a big virtual socially distanced hug to GoodGym regular Annie, who was having trouble recognising Karin and me in real-life 3D after only seeing us on Zoom since March!

We jogged down to the River Rea next to Dogpool Lane in Stirchley for a short litter-pick. It looked like someone had been there before us as the path seemed quite neat and tidy, but in just over an hour we still managed to fill one bag of rubbish and one of recyclables (and lots of thanks from passers-by).

A few of us were a bit sleepy from the weekend so that, with the location and some of the canine rubbish we collected, resulted in this week's pun. It was lucky the sun was out to keep us awake!
