First of all, it was lovely meeting @Albane, who was on her first ever goodgym community mission, and @Florence, who was on her second task. Hope the weather didn't put you off. Today's task was extremely satisfying as we were given loppers and shears to get some overgrown hedges in control. If you are currently upset at someone, maybe a co-worker, a partner, a delivery guy, who delivered your parcel to someone else and only sent you pictures of someone's feet with slippers on, so you now have to go around the neighborhood like Prince Charming looking for Cinderella!...you get the gist...just imagine their face in the hedges and keep lopping and shearing!! With a much needed coffee break in between, 2 hours went by pretty quickly and the hedges looked pretty good. Mike even had to make a skip run in between! I only have before pictures of one section because I honestly didn't think we would get so much done!!
