‘Keep your face to the sun and you will never see the shadows.’ - Helen Keller
Keeping our faces in the sun we kept ourselves busy with a quick task and social on Tuesday evening.
After enticing 8 of us to our new spot by the theatre and a quick jog through town, we quickly got to work clearing the space around Level Best Art Café. Aiding them for the upcoming Anglia in bloom, we swept floors and gathered litter, a spot of weeding and Tav’s improvising to ‘clean’ the window ledge, it was quickly looking better along with the space outside Prezzo and Culver St.
With Louise narrowly avoiding a flattening from a reversing 4x4 and Andy’s attempted backflip, we all managed to avoid injury, working up an appetite for some Caribbean food. Another quick trot through town for our meal at Turtle Bay, we enjoyed drinks icy and spicy, ate some delicious foods (they were out of curried goat - thanks Natalie for the pun), and discussed films, periods, and our great rivals BadGym.
It’s always fantastic to spend some time with fellow GoodGymmers, the social benefits of GoodGym are often underappreciated, especially for those of us who can’t easily get babysitters. A bit more garden work planned for next week, there’s no better time to be outside.
