Shred, Recycle, Keep

Monday 13th October

Written by Lewisham runner

Ms L moved into her new home a few months ago but has struggled to sort and unpack quite a few crates and she’s not sure where some papers are. Her mobility is very limited indeed so she is unable to do this without a lot of help. Today we were trying to find some specific papers and we managed to do this, but also went through a lot of others - getting rid of things she didn’t need and creating folders in her filing cabinet for the others. In addition, I got her printer working and watered some plants on her balcony. An afternoon well spent!

I didn’t take any pictures, so one from the park on the way there.

Shopping and Cooking

Friday 10th October

Written by Lewisham runner

I was a bit surprised when I got to Ms Y’s that her carer hadn’t been but assumed that she would have been and gone by the time I got back from the Co-Op. The shop was a fairly quick one. When I got back to Ms Y’s she looked worried, the carer was being held up by a medical emergency and Ms Y was hungry. So with instructions from Ms Y, I put the frozen dinner in the microwave, served it and took it into her living room. The replacement carer arrived at this point and was able to make the cuppa to go with it. Ms Y was so grateful.

Just Beet(root) it!

Friday 10th October

Written by Lewisham runner

The lovely Mr J had woken up late today and wasn’t ready with the list. So we did a quick virtual tour around ASDA plus some checks on what was in his utility room and put together a list. The only problematic item was finding fresh beetroot as the usual shop didn’t have it, but fortunately the one next door did.

You’re a daffodil-ight to be around!

Monday 6th October

Written by Kim

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.

A Glass Act

Monday 6th October

Written by Lewisham runner

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.
