We spent the whole session with the goats today!

We mucked out their stalls, cleared up the poo, and laid down fresh hay to make their home clean and cozy again. We also did a few trips to the 'poo palace'. After the chores, we enjoyed hanging out with them in their area— they were as curious and playful as ever.

We were lucky with the weather too — rain only showed up right at the end and didn’t last long. A full, fun, and rewarding day!

We met at Old Spike and, after a quick warm-up, headed out for our group run to the Old Alleynian Rugby Club. It was a deceptively mild evening, and we were all nicely warmed up after tackling the East Dulwich hill. Once at the rugby club, Ian set us to work trimming back the hedges to tidy up the boundary and make it easier for walkers to pass by. Our efforts were rewarded with a delicious homemade brownie — the perfect treat to refuel before our run back to Peckham.

This evening's shop for Ms S proved to be something of a mixed bag in more ways than one as her dictated over the phone list consisted of a specific Tesco ready meal, own brand antibacterial gel, Oral B 24 hr mouthwash, 3.5 strength reading glasses, replacement wipes for a Flash mop and a particular brand of socks.

Knowing that the glasses were high on the priority list, I diverted to my nearest Poundland (success!) before heading south of the river to Ms S's to try and find the rest of the items - unfortunately the ready meal and socks were nowhere to be seen in Tesco (just about every other type of sock was available...), but I managed to track down everything else, and it was good to be able to hand deliver the bag to Ms S, who, as always, was extremely grateful.

It was Wednesday night - which meant group run night! Most of the crew had gathered, ready at Old Spike, but one familiar face (me!) was missing… Took me only a while (and a half) to get to Old Spike to let us all in. After a quick warm up session we set off to Copleston Church and Community Centre, a new task for us. A short run away.

Once there, we got stuck straight into a 45-minute kitchen blitz — scrubbing, wiping, shining, and probably inventing new ways to get into awkward corners. The place was sparkling (almost!) by the end, and the team at Copleston were so thankful for our help. All in all a decent run, chat, clean, and even background music as we did it — classic GoodGym Southwark vibes! Andrada even hit her 50th good deed with this run! Nice one!

The mission was to take old hay from the little calves and bring new one, but they did not agree and ate everything they could. They were adorable!! So we let them! We also gave them fresh water and picked up apples for the little pigglets. What a great day!

Sam, Olive and Anna joined a bunch of other volunteers this morning at junior parkrun. A glorious morning, with 175 making it 2km round the park to cheers and high fives. Lovely stuff.
