Post Comment Love 17-19 April

April 17, 2020

Welcome to this week’s #PoCoLo - a friendly linky which I co-host with Suzanne, where you can link any post published in the last week. We 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.

And it’s good to be back after a short break for Easter, which kind of crept up on me. We managed to get the barbeque on over Easter, but MOH also had a long day at work on the Saturday. We both think - actually we know - we’re working for too long, and it’s something we need to work on. Not this upcoming weekend though as he’s working again, I think his company is taking a small advantage as he’s worked every Saturday since this lockdown began.

And the lockdown at least is continuing, so we learnt yesterday. Even I’m starting to go a little stir-crazy, though I’ve had another couple of days off, and well, taking a day off isn’t the same right now. I’ve some more leave next week, as we’re not going to Devon.

There was some gardening over Easter too, and getting out into the garden is only to be celebrated. It was also great to see the fronds of my fern starting to make themselves known. I don’t think you can beat a fern unfurling.

Post Comment Love 3-5 April

April 3, 2020

Hello there, what a week!

I say what a week because this is the latest I think I’ve ever written my post. Or possibly the earliest, depending how you look at it. It’s currently 3am Friday morning - and ha! Autocorrect feels my pain as it changed Friday to Frustration! I haven’t been working until this time, but my evening was subsumed by it.

Typically it was the one night we had ‘plans’ - and I say that loosely, as our expectation of that too has changed. The plans were a virtual bar meet-up with colleagues, and the long-awaited and much anticipated online shop. I skipped the virtual bar, which was a shame as it was much needed and MOH took charge of the delivery. This was both appreciated and painful, and a reminder that he doesn’t know his way around our kitchen cupboards.

He also cooked tea, though there was little time to eat it as my phone kept going, and not once did he complain. He’s a keeper for sure. The worst of it was that the time was spent unraveling something my team had advised against, something we’d not been involved in in detail, and yet ‘needed’ to happen.

I shall take the moral high ground, but really I wish I didn’t have to, and I’ll post a picture of a very French flower shop and pretend I can breathe in the calming eucalyptus instead.

After all, it’s already another day…

Post Comment Love 27-29 March

March 27, 2020

Hello there, and welcome to this week’s #PoCoLo - a friendly linky which I co-host with Suzanne, where you can link any post published in the last week. We 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 hope you are keeping well, and well, quite frankly, I hope you’re staying indoors too. It’s been a peculiar week here for MOH and I as we’ve started a new facet to our relationship as co-workers. The dining room table has been commandeered as ‘Mission Control’ and generally it’s going well.

So far we’ve been lucky that none of our meetings have overlapped, he’s been bemused by my directorate’s ‘coffee meeting’ Monday morning which turned into a bit of a pet-show-and-tell. I’ve learnt he’s good at making drinks and lunch and is much more disciplined than me about taking breaks. The danger, and one that we both fell into on Monday, was that our working day is much, much longer.

For me, that’s not helped by the amount of work that’s still around, and which is now joined by the usual demands as people go back to their day jobs. The thing is though, I’m proud that people are functioning well and doing their day jobs, it means my work has helped prepare them well, but I’ve a feeling we’ve quite a long way to go in this yet.

Though I fear a bigger adjustment will be required by the time we all head back to our offices…
