Collected ID from Ms L and made noted of items she needed and went to the donation hub. Unfortunately the general support section of the donation hub (the section Ms L needed) was closed and only food support (the section Ms L didn't need) was open! They will re-open next Tuesday and hopefully Ms L can get the help she needs.

Ms L was still super appreciative of GoodGym and I had a nice tour of the neighbourhood and treated myself to a flat white from a local cafe on the way back (I've contributed to the local economy 😉)

Full larder. However the chats get shorter. 90 years old this week!

I’ve been collecting food for a few months for the lovely Ms L from Feed the Hill, but her circumstances are changing so getting food from them won’t be feasible most weeks. I’ll miss the volunteers there and some of those I queue up and chat with most weeks - they keep my feet firmly on the ground.

Double task night which meant we had a couple of people heading to Florence Green to tackle the watering and the rest of us heading to RUSS Community Housing to tackle the weeding. And a couple of us had just come from TRAID. We were helping so many wonderful organisations last night.

It was Lindsay's 50th good deed this evening. Congratulations, we can't wait to see you sporting that black tshirt soon!!

Onto the tasks both were a short run away. At Florence Green there was lots of watering the saplings.

At RUSS there was lots of heaving lifting! We had soil to shift, giant piles of weeds to shift and woodchip to shift but we got it all done and made excellent progress on the woodchip!

Vic and Sarah made excellent progress on the weeding except when it got too dark and they could no longer tell what was a weed and what was a small tree.

We then created my favourite group run photo ever which was unplanned and then some of us headed to Mamma Dough for some post-group run pizza!

Don't forget we have a lot of weekend sessions at RUSS if anyone fancies it.

It's also definitely head torch time of year now and I will be bringing the lights for outdoor tasks.

Helping the day run smoothly - lots of this, that, and the other! Such a lovely day, and so nice to see the space being enjoyed by the community. ❤️🌳 very tiring as there were 480 people who attended in the end, and lots of new people came to the space for the first time. And thank you to Maria for the new shirt to go with my WCW branded cap. ❤️🌳

Another active lunch - final prep for the wildcat festival. Pic of a non-wild cat enjoying the sunshine.
