Post Comment Love 2-4 October

October 2, 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.

Ah, what a week for universities, across the country. It’s dominated my working week too. While there probably are some students not obeying the covid rules, in truth, I don’t think they’re the only ones or the only age group. And it’s clear, to me anyway, that everyone needs to pay attention and follow the rules, because really, there’s not much other choice is there?

My photo this week is one from our trip to Whitstable. And apart from the sun in my post, the only sun you’ll see this week. The flower is a beauty though, dancing coyly in the wind. It’s a good reminder of how much I enjoy these rust varieties.

Another week, and new rules from the government. And a new app, which we’ve already downloaded here, and which I hope will help in the fight against Covid. Though, if I’m honest I think we’ve some way to go yet, though I’m hoping we’ll start to see changes from these latest changes soon, and before other more tighter rules are needed.

Earlier in the year I booked some leave, random blocks of days, and so this week I’ve had three much needed days off. The first very much a home day, catching up on all sorts of things and yesterday we headed down to Whitstable for a change of scene. And much needed. We haven’t been to Whitstable for a while, and it’s such a pretty town, it was good to visit again.

We were lucky with the weather too, for most of the day. The sun had warmth, even though there were clouds in the sky, some of them much darker than we’d have liked. But we were able to have some al-fresco fish and chips on the edge of the beach, so a lot of typical English seaside town behaviour. We spotted beach huts, browsed shops, bought local goods and then got soaked after a sudden downpour which caught us out.

But even so, a really good day out, and one that (face coverings apart) felt the most ‘normal’ for a while.

Thank you for all your good wishes last week. I’ve been trying to take things easy, but still trying to do what needs to be done. Work has been busy, but also very good to me ‘forcing’ me to take some time on Wednesday, and that was much appreciated. It gave the opportunity to walk into the village to pick something up for dinner, as getting some food out of the freezer had slipped me by again.

We’d also been hoping for some barbecues, however while its sunny during the day, the temperatures drop quite quickly, and it’s dark much sooner than I’d like too. Or too dark for barbecuing, and eating outdoors - but then again we’re not mega-early eaters.

There’s been very few photos of any interest, so I’m including this one from our recent visit to Standen. It caught my eye and made me smile.
