All's Fair In Love And Wardrobe
18 GoodGymers made their way 5.7km to help the Manorfield Primary School in Newham.

Strong showing from the Newhamites last night, more hands on deck, and just as well because the tasks were lined up aplenty at Manorfield Primary School.
We rejoiced in awe and wonder at Alice's remarkable 200 good deeds, a template for consistency - the backbone/Queen of GGN keeps inspiring. Just another 300 tasks till you get a new t-shirt. On the other end of GoodGym experience spectrum, Brian joined for session numero uno, Christiaan came back for a second session as did Amanda. Newham's next generation - lovely stuff.
Our Random Weekly Question was based on wishy-washy non science based hunches "what superstitions do you have?" You guys are all quite fact based creatures, so no proper peculiar answers. A few of you ensure you have an even step count up stairs, Amanda has a penchant for uneven numbers, Eugene likes equalising his cycling with some backstrokes for good measure, James follows a left side first dressing routine pre-footy and me and Al have lucky shorts. There you have it - we're almost certifiably logical.
We shook a leg down to the school, Paul then split us into about 5 groups, each with a different job. Dismantling cupboards, constructing shelves, moving (massive) bits of furniture and sorting through a store room. Lucky we multiplied by 80% on last week's turnout (in spite of our comrades at the central line striking), as we just managed to get it all done in the nick of time, and it was a hefty old workload too. Bravo!
Once back at base, we elongated some of those running muscles, then loitered around and pretended not to be waiting for Hilary's baking delights. Vegan brownies with pecan infused perfection - bloody lovely. Kev, you better watch Great British Bake Off through from series one mate - the bar has been set high. Having said that you could just bring sugar cubes and we'll all mob you for them, brown ones though, we ain't philistines.
We've got a fitness boosting session to top off next week's task, sign up here - not one to miss.
Have a solid Thursday and a nourishing weekend.
