This evening we returned to the Warneford Hospital site to flashmob some of their flower beds.
The flower beds in the aptly named Meadow ward had got quite over-grown and needed a good weed, a food water and some general TLC.
After crowning Ellie for achieving her 100th Good deed and enjoying some Celebrations, we set to work.
Thistles, lots of grass and some pesky dandelions were removed, a wild patch preserved to protect a hedgehog house, and the best Celebration thoroughly debated. I'm team Bounty - possibly in the 1% minority of the population!
Watering cans were emptied and woodchip spread to hopefully ensure that the beds stay happy!
Good work team.
Double points if you can name the musical reference in the title.....,

Please note the change of meeting place, as there is no address for the Paperboat Cafe it automatically goes to the Head of the River pub, the cafe faces it! See you there at 11:00

On Wednesday we were asked to help the Oxford Preservation Trust with work at Iffley Glebe.
GLEBE:
noun
1. HISTORICAL
a piece of land serving as part of a clergyman's benefice and providing income.
We had a few tasks to take care of:
Once suitably covered in bug repellent we set to work, whizzing through the list in record time. The run back to base was a delight, taking in the Thames path, but could have been improved by inhaling slightly fewer midges!
Thanks to Ben for the report title!

A bumper group of Goodgymers gathered at Dinton Pastures parkrun this morning for event number 288.
After the usual SPRINT to the start (one day we will be early.....) we gathered for the all important pre run selfie and listened to the run briefing.
The course is a 2 lapper with a bit of a congested start - next time we'll scooch to the front a bit more. We ran through wood land and skirted a couple of lakes for what was a lovely course and all looked terribly athletic at the finish!
After a photo with some with the sign and accompanying blossom we headed for the all important post run breakfast as an excellent cafe in the grounds of the nature reserve. Becky and Gary sparked an accidental debate about the combination of sweet and savory on one dish with their order of some pretty epic looking pancakes!
We also started planning the events that we needed to complete our parkrun alphabet!
Finally, and most importantly, happy birthday to Poppy Dog! 4 today!

I hadn't realised it was Poppy's birthday! Happy birthday lovely Poppy! 🐕
