Brenda and Harvey rocked up to Borough Market all ready to help with collecting spare food from the market and local cafes...only to miss the Oasis collection team. But GoodGym folk aren't so easily put off. Brenda came up with a practical plan - they could walk to the Oasis food hub in Kennington and help unload - genius!

So, that's what they did. Chatting on, catching-up and putting the world to rights as they walked.

On arrival at the hub, there was a bit more confusion checking that this thing was happening. But that didn't last long as the Food Connect cargo bike rolled in - whoop!

Our intrepid two got stuck in, helping a couple of regular volunteers to unload the food cargo - job done! And, best of all, nothing goes to waste.

Such a lovely day at the St Andrew's Youth Club. St Andrew's Youth Club is already an amazing facility for the community, but its clear they are always thinking of ways they can improve the space, and that's exactly what we did.

We spent the evening getting rid of all unnecessary waste, organizing excess equipment, and rearranging the room to enhance the effectiveness of the space. Everyone got super stuck in and worked together to find the best adjustments.

An hour in and the space already looked cleaner, more considered and more inclusive. A super productive day led by Adrian, a day that everyone enjoyed.

Only a few weeks in, and Miss N has GoodGym shopping mastered - she has photos of all the items that she wants readily prepared (which in my world is just perfect). An easy list to follow though this week - however the only flavour of liquid detergent that Aldi had was Coconut Crush, whereas Miss N was insistent on Tropical Lily (when I called her to double check). To think someone somewhere has the job of coming up with these product names...

A shorter than usual list for Mr R this ("looks like it might rain later") particular Monday afternoon, so was an easy and pleasant walk to and from Tesco to get what he needed. We ended up having a long conversation about the challenges of disposing of old/unwanted furniture as Mr R has a background in antiques...yet again another fascinating school day.

With the Waitrose at the Brunswick Centre currently closed for refurbishment until 24th June, Mrs S had to come up with Plan B for her shopping this morning - fortunately she'd given this some thought and pointed me in the direction of John Lewis on Oxford Street, where conveniently there is a Waitrose Food Hall in its basement, and more importantly it opens at 9am!

So with dictated list in hand, I set off in a new direction this morning along Oxford Street to find treasure amongst new aisles - as I was partway through gathering, the phone rang and Mrs S asked if I'd mind also getting two pieces of Salmon for her as well - kindly lady at the fish counter was only too happy to oblige, and I was soon back (quicker than going to Brunswick!) emptying the bags onto Mrs S' kitchen table.

I played abit of adults Lego.
