Four Goodgymmers, Roger, Chloe, Caprice and Lea, turned up for another day at TOSH. It was Roger’s first official deed with us. He has joined us unofficially on a few previous occasions, but he certainly looked the part today in his new tshirt. Mind you, Roger, it’s not a proper Goodgym shirt if it hasn’t got stains on it… well, according to Lea! (You can guess the state of her shirt!) Anyway, all in bits today. As it is one of the last sessions before the grand opening of the garden on Saturday 20-7, a lot of “bits” needed to be done. There was Roger taking away the bricks lying all over the garden, Caprice, in spite of an injured finger, happily sweeping the paths, Lea pulling off the sticky tape from the grouted tiles and Chloe cleaning the bits of grout from the tiles, joined later by Lea. Chloe then cut long grasses away from around the entrance. Roger got ace at stringing wire between posts. Lea and Roger carried big unused slabs from the garden area to a van. And Caprice aced the jigsaw puzzle of getting all the tools back into the tiny shed. All in all… lots of bits done, so lots of things ticked off Melinda’s list. Tuesday is our final session there, more bits to be done to tick off on the list. And then the grand opening on Saturday, with a party to which all the Goodgymmers are invited!!
