A fantastic team of 10 Goodgymers whizzed through a range of tasks at the kennels. Together we painted one side of a cable reel (we'll need to come back to do the other side), weeded the entrance area and cut back brambles in the exercise area.

Afterwards we were treated to greetings from a gorgeous resident who charmed us all and made sure everyone got a cuddle!

With the dark coming in earlier every day now, our trip to the synagogue garden was limited to the paths around the outside of the main building.

After channeling our inner witches by riding the brooms, the team managed to sweep and clear the paths in no time at all. Dave even got his regular dip in the garden waste bin!

Meanwhile, I hoovered inside the building, and was later joined by Katie who followed me round with the mop.

The "tools available" at this mission comprised bin bags and kitchen scissors. The garden was a bit overrun with brambles and trailing nasturtiums.

I managed to pull up a lot of the brambles (thank you bramble proof gloves!) and fill 3 bin bags with weeds and brambles. I also removed a box of plastic sandwich packaging which someone had thrown into her garden.

Mrs F was very happy with what I got done in the time.

Hello darkness, our old friend...

Our task this evening was weeding the edge of basketball court, which was all well and good whilst the flood lights were on. Unfortunately, a misunderstanding with a timer meant we were thrust into complete darkness at 7pm. We soldiered on, but once we reached the nettle patch we admitted defeat, as blindly groping at plants seemed a little riskier.

Autumn is well and truly here - evening gardening tasks are going to be looking a bit different for a few months!

Tom has worked out what went wrong with the floodlights, so GG will be back in a couple of weeks to finish the job!

And some need a few extra tools on another visit.

After speaking with Mrs A and finding out the bulbs in her kitchen are already sorted, much to the relief as the nights draw in.

We discussed another task that needed sorting for which the needed tools aren't available. So I will be seeing her again soon!

Along with a nice sunset pic from my day out in Brighton saturday

Went shopping for Mrs W - not so easy shopping for someone else when the shop had run out of what she liked! Dilemma - no prawn curry - do I get chicken curry or another cottage pie! All sorted and a very happy Mrs W. A lovely lady who clearly likes to chat.
