We haven't been to Senior's for a couple of months and it was good to be back ticking off the tasks that they're unable to do themselves - we're always happy to do what we can to make things a little easier for them.

The group tackled all those hills with ease and we were at Senior's before we knew it! Alice and Val guided us through the tasks for the evening and we set off in our little groups.

Marta had the task of carefully digging up the mint for Jenny and Lindsay to plant in pots for an upcoming plant sale.

Louise and Joseph tackled building the arch which had a suitably helpful set of instructions which more resembled a puzzle.

Oli went back and forth with the wheelbarrow filled with watering cans and buckets of water and also a full wheelbarrow of water with the end goal of filling the water butts.

Julian had the task of removing the sticky willy (also known by its proper name of cleavers) from around the garden. Many buckets were filled of the pesky weed.

After we ticked everything off it was time to head back to Glass Mill.

In a last minute change of task Lewisham's finest GoodGymers gathered at Glass Mill ready to tackle the litter that is often seen flying around our start point.

We split into 3 groups and went off in different directions to hunt for some litter. The most fascinating find that I'm aware of was part of a microwave!

We ended up with 3 bin bags full of litter in just over half hour which is excellent!!

Next week we are heading to Florence Green and we have a social planned for afterwards.

Or more like cutting up sleeves as we each cut off our preferred piece of the jumper for cleaning the windows with!

A mighty group of dedicated GoodGymers who weren't phased by the rain made their way to Senior's ready to tackle the sellotape on and around the windows.

It worked out at about a large window each and armed with window cleaning spray, WD40 and clothes, we got stuck in!

There were various techniques happening but we were making progress. Being dark outside the smears started showing and it became a task in itself to try and remove them. There were multiple methods deployed including a fresh spray of window cleaner followed by paper towels and very very very precise cleaning so the smears will definitely be uniform if not removed.

I hope the results are sparkling when the sun comes up this morning!

Great work team!!

A quick community mission for this eve, a simple task of taking down the halloween decorations that we put up a couple of weeks ago.

Myself and Julian braved the ladders to get all the floating hats down and Louise tackled the many many bats on the windows.

Once done, we did a quick extra task of taking down a hanging sign which turned out to be rather heavy. After a bit of to me to you, we managed to fit it in its temporary home.

Once we'd made sure Di was safely in her Uber we headed to the Blythe Hill Tavern for a well earned drink!

A dead-icated group of nine left Glassmill and went over a scary hill and were joined by four more at Seniors where our task was to make Stanstead Lodge Halloween ready!

A cauldron of bats, a coven of witches, a cluster of spiders, a clutter of spiders’ webs and a fraid of ghosts were fixed to walls, windows and ceilings. A terror-ific time was had by all.

We celebrated Jenny’s 500th GoodGym good deed, a real hallow-queen, such an important part of our community.

Afterwards, Vic was an absolute star, making sure that Diane from Seniors locked up safely and got to her bus stop.

It's officially headytorch season, I feel like that has come back around quick and caught us a little off guard! Don't forget headtorches going forward.

The small but mighty group were on there way over to Seniors and the rest of us were meeting at the task. Once we were all regrouped, we made our way into the garden to be assigned with tasks for the eve.

There was a lot of carrying of watering cans and buckets which the Senior's team find hard to do so it's good we can tick this one off their list.

There was also moving of the potato plants of varying weights, planting of winter flowers, removing bindweed and pruning of the chilli plants! A variety of tasks and we were rewarded for our efforts with some house plant to take home.

Whilst we were working away at Seniors, making her way to the task was slightly delayed as Jane was helping someone who had fallen over and required an ambulance. I'm sure the person was very grateful you were able to stop and stay with them in that situation!

We ended the group run by enjoying some doughbuts to celebrate Steve's birthday, he had to share it with the Big Half so it was only fair we had our own celebration! And welcome back to Maria!

Next week, the listing says we shall be going to The Albany, but we could be going to Heston Nature Reserve instead. Hopefully all will be confirmed before the weekend.
