Four people signed up for this and as it is a task that can be done at any time and anywhere, this report may get added to.
Paul and Adi had a common feature on their Lewisham litter picking - Egyptian geese, but that's as far as the similarities went. Adi was in Sydenham's.Mayow Park where not much litter was found but lots of Christmas trees, a few of which were moved to their collection point (a traditional GoodGym activity.
Paul was in Deptford's Brookmill Park where high waters on the Ravensbourne due to rain had brought lots litter downstream - there was more litter collected than there had been for several months. In other news there the more herons this week and the youngster has survived the freezing temperatures.

Artistic cone flinging aka course set up at Catford #parkrun this morning, plus some cone herding (close down) afterwards. Wore a sample for the GG 2021/22 season away kit that was never formally used.

The lovely Ms Y was looking for angels when I called from the Sainsbury's by the station. Well Desmond Tutu did work in a church down the road. But it wasn’t anything like that, rather it was Angel Cakes - Sainsbury’s had an offer on the slices so that was angelic enough!
The unicorn was spotted high up on a human’s shoulders - I told the unicorn that it was the best one that I’d seen all day, the unicorn and human were delighted by this news!

Ms C is just as resourceful as me when it comes to fixing things around the house. I breezed through the assembly of the clothes line (it came flat packed which I was not expecting!) Then we valiantly tried to fix the toilet seat. Me with a headtorch and Ms C with a screwdriver. In the end we reckon it was faulty though; ordered from China and definitely style over substance. That I had to leave for another day. Highlights were this lovely pair of slippers she lent me while we worked. And then a ginger honey tea from Jamaica. Basically it was a lovely, comfy little task and a break from work. I enjoyed listening to Ms C talk about her family in America.

The first part of today’s mission for the lovely Mr J was to take a urine sample to his GP surgery. I had collected the sample bottle and paperwork to go with it last week. The partially sighted Mr J had been unable to find it and I was no better when I tried. Mr J then remembered that he had some spare sample bottles, he filled that and I sorted the paperwork out at his surgery.
The shop was the usual healthy items of fruit and veg, along with two mops which were tricky to carry along with his full shopping trolley.

There were a lot of curtains and a lot of laughs with Ms K. The lovely task involved - taking down the curtains that were up - putting some different curtains up - realising that the new curtains didn’t meet in the middle - taking down the new curtains - putting up some different curtains - taking down the net curtains - removing wire from net curtains - putting wire into new net curtains, this was not straightforward…. - putting the final (net) curtains up
