Monday 9th November
Report written by Clara (She/Her)
It was a cold November evening and many of us met at the task wrapped up in as many layers as possible. Sophie, Sallyann and Aatefa braved the cold and ran to the task. Here we met Khan who asked us to do some targetted weeding and litter picking. We formed into different groups. Miriam took on weeding the tree; Sophie and Jit (a very warm welcome Jit) took on weeding at the bottom of the community garden. Heetu took on weeding the perimeter. While Sallyann, Bekah, Aatefa, Craig, and I took on litter picking and clearing some rubbish. During the litter pick we found some interesting items including a bath, some cups and interestingly a bag of lentils. Aatefa and I continued to litter pick the area while the others went to support with weeding. Heetu and Craig made light work of tidying the weeds around the garden - making the entraceways look much neater. We posed for a photo and tried our best to show our goodgym tshirts. We also realised it had an interesting light, not too far off from the colour of the lentils we'd found earlier. During the weeding we learnt that Jit grows his own fruit and veg and knows quite a bit a about weeds. Excellent knowledge to have as I, for one, am often unsure. We also found out he is a writer so we were all talking about reports for Goodgym - we hope to read your first report soon Jit. Well done everyone for an excellent job on a cold November evening. Congratulations also to Craig on the 15th task!
