Post Comment Love 30 August - 1 September

August 30, 2019

Hello there and welcome to this week’s #PoCoLo a friendly linky where you can link any post published in the last week. Both Morgan and I know you’ll find some great posts to read, and maybe some new-to-you blogs too, so do pop over and visit some of the posts linked and share some of that love.

I’ve had a bit of a break from my blog this past week, and though not planned it was clearly needed. I’ve been in that overwhelm funk where you’ve lots to do but you’re not quite sure where to start, so in fact do nothing. Which doesn’t help when you review the mental list (or in fact the real one) but sometimes it’s just space that’s needed, and fretting or forcing it doesn’t work.

So I’ve read some books, got a bit further behind on all sorts of lists I have, but with some prioritisation changes I’m sure that everything that needs to be done, will happen. And some of it might not. But it’s not the end of world, and that’s both blog and work things.

I’ve made progress in other areas though including starting to edit my photos from Portugal, which is where this one originates from. I’ve many pictures of the tiles in Lisbon, some with ‘additions’ like the one below. I’m still figuring out if it’s graffiti (probably) or adds to the charm of the area close to where we stayed (also probably), or something else.

TILES, WITH A QUESTIONABLE ADDITION IN LISBON

Blogger Showcase

This spot is empty again this week, but you could feature as a future Blogger Showcase. All you need to do is answer our questions, or as many of them as you want, and send them to either Morgan or I. You can find details on my #PoCoLo page.

Post Comment Love 23 - 26 August

August 23, 2019

This week we’re keeping the linky open for an extra day, and it’ll close on Bank Holiday Monday, which unusually, is forecast to be the warmest Bank Holiday ever. Though none of us really believe that and are still making wet weather contingency plans, it is a Bank Holiday after all!

I’ve had some garden finds this week; the lettuce planted a few weeks earlier has, with all the rain, excelled itself and we’re regularly eating home grown lettuce now. I’ve got into the routine of picking it the night before, washing it and leaving it in the fridge in kitchen roll in an airtight container. It’s just as well as I’ve found at least one snail that had survived the night. Thankfully, it’s been a whole snail, as we all know the only thing worse than finding a whole snail, is half a snail…

It tastes much nicer than the bagged stuff, and is less slimy too, so far. The tomatoes though are slow to ripen, and I think are a casualty of the trees in our garden, not much sun is reaching them. There are a few beans on the way though, and I’m looking forward to those, though MOH will soon get to the point of asking “not beans, again?”

Blogger Showcase

Our list is still empty so there’s no showcase feature this week. If you’d like to be featured then please get in touch with Morgan or I.

Post Comment Love 16 - 18 August

August 16, 2019

How’s your week been?

Both MOH and I have been a bit under the weather with different symptoms, and busy at work, which isn’t a great combination. It’s unusual for one of us to come home from work and head straight to bed, let alone both of us. However we’re on the up as both of us were feeling better yesterday evening. For me it’s not come at a great time as working at a university, it’s been a big week. MOH is working this weekend too, and is expecting it to be a long one, so I’ll be doing whatever I want, the best sort of day!

I’ve just realised writing this post that neither of us have watered the tomatoes - in the greenhouse - this week, and so they might be a bit thirsty, despite the rain. That’s a job for before work then, as long as it’s not raining.

There haven’t been many photos either, so this is one from our trip to Portugal, taken at the Belem Tower looking out. The contrast works for me, and it was such a great place - look out for a post on that, just as soon as I get the photos edited…

Blogger Showcase

Our list remains empty, so there’s no Blogger Showcase feature this week. I know it’s August and things are more relaxed with school holidays, but I’m starting to wonder if we should rethink this feature, so let me know if you’ve any ideas or thoughts, it’d be great to hear them.

And of course if you’re interested in being featured then take a look at my Post Comment Love page and get in touch.
