I won’t leave it until the end of September to update August.
August started very slowly and it looked like I wouldn’t get my target of 15 per month I’m aiming for. With a number of regional Gyms lucky enough to stay the full duration I managed to just reach that target.

September has started ok but it’s not going to be a picnic as 2 of the 3 areas I’ve been working have some very territorial players. Had a run in with one with them getting nasty a couple of weeks ago. Not the first fruit loop I’ve encountered playing this game and won’t be the last I’m sure.
Got #203 gold yesterday, it’s in a big shopping plaza with multiple shops and restaurants, it’s first gold gym of 3 gyms in the plaza and first of 6 gyms in the area I have been working on.
Got #205 gold yesterday, it’s a sports complex dedicated in September 1989, my pokemon was able to stay there for 8+ days and did some raids in between.
Got #206 gold today, it’s the third gold gym of 3 gyms in the same plaza as #203 and #204, it is near a pancake restaurant and turned gold while my Pokemon stayed there for 1+ days.
Went to post October update and realised I hadn’t posted September so here’s both.
September was a very productive month with a lot that had been slowly progressing finally reaching Gold.

October was not so good falling well short of the personal target of 15 per month. So many new Gyms started and not many that were getting close. Not getting many long stays so it was a slog.
