Challenge 30

Last year’s Folk Traditions challenge was great fun, but it put a lot of pressure on getting to places on a particular day. And with a young family, that kinda thing won’t be feasible this year. So this year, my 30th year, I’m going to attempt 3 challenges that are a little closer to home, and have less time pressure.

30 Health trends, fads, classes and treatments
Hitting 30 is as good a time as any to take a look at my health, and explore some of the latest or popular health products, programs, classes and services out there today. Some of them will be out there and new to the world, some of them will just be new to me.

30 Markets
The plan is to visit 30 markets – of all types and flavours. Antiques markets, food markets, car boot sales, street markets and indoor markets. All sorts. I won’t count ones I’ve looked around before (unless there’s a particular pop up market on or something.) And if I buy something, I’ll make a note of it here too.

30 Soups
I don’t have soup very often. But whenever I do, I always think “Why don’t I have soup more often?” So here we go. No real rules around it – equally accepting of canned soup, just as much as restaurant or café. Hot, cold, it doesn’t matter. But I need to get a breadth of flavour – it can’t be the same Pret tomato soup every time (although that is delicious.)
