There's a special space tucked inside a medical surgery in Kentish Town.

The Listening Space Garden is a home for sanctuary in Camden's bustle, and our group often visit to help keep the space lovely for the patients who use it often.

And that was us – Nivia, Steve, and I – last night :)

We caught up with the wonderful Jo, before spending a steady hour cutting and scraping the weeds from the cracks between the paving stones :)

We'll be back soon to do a little more – and thank you, both, for a wonderfully relaxing and healing evening!

Mr T was still trying to shake off his "flu", so was a little under the weather this afternoon, but he'd enjoyed a few more good results with the turf accountants which had brightened his mood immensely, albeit his "high point" of the week had been a race at the Goodwood Festival where his pick had been beaten by a 150-1 outsider...as he said to me "you would have heard me laughing all the way over in Bethnal Green!!".

No outside bets with this week's basket filling - a wander down to M&S for soup, Tesco for beefburgers and trusty Lidl for the rest - he even had a few carrots left over from last week's shop, so I got those to take home to improve my eyesight.

She was really nice and we got on well. She was pleased with how thorough I was getting the correct items. I talked a little bit about my life and she was very interested.

7 wonderful GoodGym folk made light work of a balcony clear-out!

Tottenham Court Road hummed its usual bustle as our group – of Helen, Jackie, Lydia, Siobhan, and Steve – climbed through the American International Church's magnificent doors.

We were there to meet the AIC's brilliant community engagement aficionado – and fellow GoodGymer – Brooke, who had a perfectly-shaped task for GoodGym!

The balcony is suspended above the church hall and it's filled with the usual – pews, books, community notices – as well as the less usual – an eclectic assortment of chairs, random poles, fun-looking toys, and more!

We were there to move the excess items down the three flights to the basement, across the church's underbelly, and out to the side entrance ready for collection and recycling!

Cue this team kicking into the most efficient (and happy) human chain I've ever witnessed – they picked, carried, passed, and repeated – onlookers marveled, removal companies trembled, and the loot was moved and tidily organised in 45 swift minutes!

Thank you so much, everyone! Here's to next time!

Only a Friday afternoon chat with Mr T, who was recovering from an unexplained bout of flu (or something...), could cover a Spanish harpist, an English golfer and a Danish piano playing comedian...those old late night TV chat shows have nothing on the range of topics that we manage to cover either side of a visit to Lidl, M&S and Tesco...finally I also found Sardines in M&S, so Mr T was suitably chuffed with a complete list of items.

•••4 Wonderful GoodGym folk gave a community flower bed a makeover in Camden!***

Camden Square Gardens is a special patch of community space a little East from Camden Town. Surrounded by community dwellings, sections of this green space are cared for by the local community.

Jackie, John, Siobhan, and I met the wonderful Annabel, who guided us to a patch with potential! Open and large, the hope is that this space will soon be filled with shrubs and flowers, and our work involved helping prepare this space for planting.

Over 60 minutes, our special group dug and forked, getting deep into the soil to attack the roots of invasive weeds and thistles.

Four of us meant four hours of work, and we collected a healthy pile of natural waste together :)

Thank you, everyone! See you next time!
