Week 272: Mudlarking

A week of being back at work, surprisingly easy diets, creative cooking, playing Blue Prince, treasure hunts, and mudlarking on the Thames.

Back to work again, and back to the office. It’s fine isn’t it. Really, it’s fine. Nice to see people again isn’t it?
My diet has been surprisingly easy tbh (yes it’s early days), and it’s forcing me to be more creative with cooking. I made some pretty delicious spring rolls and a lot of what I’ve been eating is rice-based. I’ve discovered there’s basically nothing I can eat out and I feel healthy 👍
We picked up Blue Prince again properly and it continues to be really fun and surprise us. Honestly I can’t recommend this game enough.
On Saturday we met up with Tammy and Marcus for a treasure hunt around Soho. It was too easy but still fun.
On Sunday we went mudlarking with Alison and it was loads of fun! It was down in Wapping and we found a lot of Victorian and Georgian pottery with a couple of potential medieval fragments. The woman in charge was enthusiastic and made it fun, I’d go again!
