Week 55: Germs

A week of many meals out, lots of cute new plant friends, paint samples, nasty germ spreaders, and a tasty lasagna.

We went to the pub with Charlotte’s dad and had a nice catch-up. Nothing beats a home Sunday roast, but The White Hart’s one is pretty great!
We went for Turkish food with Luke, and after several failed attempts (unexpectedly closed restaurants), we tried Wood Mangal based on a quick Google and it was delicious, also exactly the right level of chilled out for all our moods.
The plants I ordered from Patch arrived! More plant friends!
We’ve been buying and trying paint samples, some from Lick and some from Dulux, struggling to find the exact shades we want. I think maybe we’re going a bit too dark with the colours, but I guess we can just eventually repaint if we hate it 🤷 we bought a couple of Farrow & Ball samples just in case.
I went into the office, it was the busiest it’s been in a long time but it was great to see everyone! I got just a little carried away with the wine after work and Friday was a struggle.
We went for a little 6 mile walk around Epping forest over the weekend with some friends. It was perfect walking weather: a little cold with crips autumn leaves everywhere.
I’m sick. It’s not COVID, according to the tests, but I have a sore throat and am feeling very run down. I blame the office, does anyone want to own up to spreading their gross germs?
We made a pretty delicious butternut squash lasagna, and I got out the pasta machine for the first time in forever. It was fun! I should make pasta more. We spent a fairly solid 3 hours prepping and cooking and I think it was worth it.
