The play street on Windermere avenue was the first of four this summer and Goodgym helped to make this local event a success. Nearly a hundred local residents converged on the street, closed to local traffic for two hours, to play games and socialise. There were street chalks, bubbles, giant Jenga, various home-baked cakes, as well as a book swap and an amazing spot where people could plant a pot with pollinator-friendly herbs and take it home with them. Goodgymers groomed with the set-up and staffed the street barriers, as well as helping with the clear up at the end. We look forward to the next ones!

I had to help Mr C get some bags of rubbish out of his flat and into the refuse bins of his block. He cannot currently get down the stairs because of problems with his foot. I ran there in glorious sunshine. When I arrived I found around 12 bin liners with rubbish, but they were mercifully light. Mr C was very polite and we had a nice chat. All the bags were cleared in a few minutes. And I ran back home in the sun again!
