14 of us gathered at Glass Mill ready to plant the bulbs at Florence Green. Paul kindly lead the warm up and brought the group up to Florence Green whilst I tried to walk as fast as I could so not to delay getting stuck into the bulb planting.

Subo had organised the bulbs by tree and we were each assigned a pack of bulbs to plant with a variety of tools. Some more effective than others... A variety of bulbs were planted including daffodils and aliums.

We then moved onto our next task for the evening which was removing the stakes from the hedges that we planted a long while back, only if we thought they were strong enough to survive on their own without support!

We were soon done and dusted with that task as well and it was time to head back to Glass Mill.

Welcome Joshua to your first GoodGym session - hope you had a wonderful evening and we'll see you again soon!

We might be visiting Florence Green again before the year is out as they're expecting another delivery of bulbs from the council.

Next week we are heading to The Albany to tackle a list of jobs in the garden and of course the usual litter pick of the perimeter.

Ms L had accumulated dozens of glasses over the years and had a large cabinet in her front room with them in. I’d dispersed them round her flat to allow some plaster repairs to be done behind the cabinet. Today’s job was to clean and return them to their home. I began to regret putting them all on the top of kitchen cupboards but eventually they were all rehomed.

A very straightforward task - go to the hardware shop at the bottom of the hill, walk back to Ms L’s, tap the nails and hooks into the wall, put the small pictures back up.

There was a two pronged attack on litter in Lewisham. Adi was braving the wind on the fringe of Storm Amy on Saturday morning in Sydenham’s Mayow Park, where there were lost toys, broken branches, but not vast amounts of litter. Paul braved the rain the day before along the Ravensbourne in Deptford, he had a ‘helper’ - Milo a very disobedient dog who through being close to the river was more fun than staying with his humans. There were a couple of bags for life full of litter collected.

Well, two to be precise. The lovely Ms Y had asked me before I headed out to the Co-Op whether I could try to find some face flannels on Deptford Market next week. I said that I would but try the limited range of shops on the crest of Downham Way today. As it turned out the pharmacy had a vast array of different coloured face cloths, and after some deliberation on the phone plumped for the royal blue and jade options. As for the rest of the shop it was straightforward, although it seemed that Co-Op staff had been hiding the marmalade at the back of the shelf…

It was a quicker than normal shop for the lovely Mr J mainly because the edges of Amy were in Deptford and both shoppers and market stall holders had stayed at home. It was a fairly standard shop which I finished in record time, finding a ‘friend’ at the end.
