A mossy 90 minutes

Sunday 1st November

Written by Alefiyah

I helped Mr E by clearing this patch of his front garden of dead leaves, pulling out weeds and grass and using a wire brush to clear moss growing between the paving slabs. It took a surprisingly long amount of time! Alas, I forgot to take a picture of my handiwork and how it looked at the end.. 🤯🍂

From Dostoyevsky to Dopiaza

Sunday 1st November

Written by Bristol runner

A lovely afternoon cutting Mr M’s lawn and attacking the hedges on the inside of the garden. Alas, his ladder wasn’t tall enough for me to do the bits at the top.

As always, Mr M brought out a cup of tea, together with a lovely cherry bakewell, which we enjoyed over a chat about the book he’s currently reading and our favourite curries.

Always a pleasure to help out in Mr M’s garden!

The rain let up - (cur-)phew!

Tuesday 27th October

Written by Melanie Young (she/her)

A very soggy start was replaced with a dry enough spell for a delayed start to GoodGym Bristol's Lets Lift The Curfew first run after the clocks went back - when many women feel unsafe running in the dark. We run all through the winter at GoodGym Bristol so Tuesday evenings will see us leaving Workout at 6.30 - pop along at 6.20 so we're ready to leave on time.

A "harbour loop" 5km-ish run with litter-picking on the way was a great way to keep people warm and chatting until we were all back at Workput for a cup of tea (or pint of cider) wishing Ed well on his way to Senegal for volunteering at the youth Olympics, even though the volunteers aren't being given shoes in their kit - scandal! And fabulous to have Gozde and Marie join us for the first time - looking forward to seeing you when the tine next fits in. We'll be here whenever youre around on a Tuesday.

And its Eats after the Group Run/Walk - even mote reason to pop along next week.

(Photo is from the walk home when the weather was lovely!)

Johnny the Fox meets Gymmy the Weed

Saturday 31st October

Written by Bristol runner

A nice dry afternoon to help Mrs R with a bit of weeding in her back garden. With a fox living underneath her garden shed, the artificial turf had been pulled away, so it I managed to replace this for her.

Finally there was just enough time to tie one of her shrubs to the fence to encourage it to creep along.

Sunday 25th October

Written by Jason Thorne

On a windy Sunday morning we started cleaning / spinning the plates with the second larger part of the Blue Sky artwork. We were glad to get out after yesterday's stormy weather.
