Trying to decipher the meaning behind multiple profiles on OKCupid that say "Designer always improving my craft" or "Public health advocate for better access" as the only descriptions. Test accounts or secret love letters?

A pleasant walk along the Thames from Rainham to Purfleet. Concrete barges, marshes, Dracula, and warnings blasted out telling me I was trespassing.

I found my first real coin while mudlarking today at Folly House beach! It was a 1p! I was excited anyway. Previously I had only found the wrapper of a chocolate coin.
The Thames foreshore with the river behind and the Millennium Dome on the opposite bank.

A fun day out with @subbrit.bsky.social! Dodged dragon's teeth, wandered through the woods, walked along a railway track and into the Golgotha tunnel. Visited a signal box, Elvington Heritage Centre and the Kent Mining Museum.

Swoon over my hot ankle! A car ran over a pot of chilli sauce at the very moment that I was walking by, and it squirted onto my ankle. Eww.

The border between realities on the Thames foreshore is always quite weak, but that Monday in the sunshine, it seemed particularly porous. He gave me a tiny cockle, telling me it was something like a cockerel. He advised that I eat it with bread. I thanked him and held onto it for a while.

My dream self is obviously still at EMF, as I continue to wake up wondering where I am. The ceiling looks too high to be my tent. Perhaps I fell asleep in a marquee? #emfcamp

"Your mind is heavy because it's full of ideas".
Street art in Brick Lane, with text saying "Your mind is heavy because it's full of ideas" and a snail-like creature wearing a jester's hat is saying this. There are a few other colourful and strange faces next to it.

It's Thursday night and I'm dancing around the moon at the Museum of London Docklands, but I'm thinking about 25 years ago when on a Thursday night, I would have been dancing at the Dungeon.

Three eyes I recently found on the Thames foreshore: 1. An eye from a bearded man on a Bartmann jug (16th or 17th century stoneware) 2. A pink eye, probably from a toy. 3. A mysterious blue eye, which could be a stone. #mudlarking

Devil's toenails (gryphaea), a genus of extinct oyster. I found these fossils in Marske, in the north east of the UK. They are approximately 200 million years old, so a bit older than the oyster shells I've found on the Thames foreshore.
