Report written by Kash
Sevan and Kash decided to spend their day of GoodGymming in three different boroughs outside their home area of Ealing. After leaving the Chiswick Eyot in GoodGym Hounslow, before it got cut off from the dry land by the Thames high tide, they continued their journey eastward. The 3.5 km run took them to GoodGym Hammersmith & Fulham, where Mr A awaited their help with sweeping leaves in his tiny back garden.
"I don't know how you are going to do that without a shovel. Last year, a man came with a shovel to do it." - Mr A.
The GoodGymers also learned that their predecessor was an Englishman proficient in gardening. Since neither of them was an English gardener, there was no point in measuring themselves to such distant standards. They decided to simply get on with the job. Kash went downstairs to evaluate the difficulty of that seemingly insurmountable task.
"We will just do it with our hands." - Kash.
As it turned out, Mr A had brooms and dustpans, so using only hands was not even necessary. In 30 minutes, Sevan and Kash swept and packed up not only dried leaves, but also all the creeping weeds they had pulled out, then they moved six sacks of green waste to the front garden. Unbeleafable!
