Three Good Gymmers came to restock and stock take at Frenford Food Bank. We moved packages from the cages yo places that were now vacant on the static shelves. Linda and Addie brought in some new stock and a container for the dontated sugar from the storage out back while Ed put the cages away.

Half way through Addie presented Linda with some cookies that she had kindly made for Linda's Birthday. Luckily Linda's age is no secret, not only were the shape of the cookies advertising it, Addie kindly accompanied the presentation with a loud blast of The Beatles When I'm 64! 😂

Totting up whats left on the shelves is a breeze when theres three of you. We were finished in no time and the info passed to a grateful task owner.

Three of us cleared old bulb leaves and some weeds to make way for half a dozen petunias which were pot bound and overdue for planting out. Ed and Linda would usually take care of the Bernard Close community gardening project on their own and were very grateful for the addition of Addie whose energy, enthusiasm for the job, good knowledge of gardening and lively chatter made a chore into a pleasure.

it is a long standing pet hate to see the heavy metal NO2 canisters rolling about the streets - they usually end up in the gutter dangerously close to passing bikes.

Also, if one get clipped by a car it can shoot across the road and cause damage or even hit pedestrians. Not mention the potential issues if flicked up into oncoming 40mph traffic...

So in two sessions today 8 canisters got removed from one Road, a mere 2-300m spread up & downhill.

sorry, no report / pics, tech issues.

AJ been a very busy girl though and that has been noticed by the team - see attached praise!

A lovely sunday evening visiting Mr S and bringing him more of his favourite crime fiction books. Mr S might be in his 90s but he is waaay ahead on new AI technology that me and he even teaches, so we had a good chat about that. A lovely way to spend my evening!

A lovely morning catching up with fellow goodgymmers whilst doing good! Sharon was planting the new season annuals - petunias and impatiens and tidying up the planters with extra bark chips! James did a super speedy job of filling up all the reservoirs whilst I was watering on top of the planters.

Everything is looking so much better now! Thank you everyone!

Next session is on the next bank holiday monday to hopefully replant a couple of older planters that are in need of fresh plants!
