Post Comment Love 27-29 November

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.

It does amaze me how quickly we adapt and change our routines, and we’re still doing that. It’s something like week 36 of working from home, which is crazy and while we’re not following the same routine each day, there is still routine. We still base ourselves at the kitchen table each day, though MOH has changed seats now he no longer has the dual screen set up now he’s no longer working. He has naturally assumed the role of making lunch, as well as breakfast, for which I’m grateful for and then later on I’ll cook tea. He’ll head out on his bike or spend his afternoons away from the screen and then will remind me about 7pm what the time is.

I’m sure there’ll be further changes needed as the seasons go on. January and February are the greyest months of the year and we’re thinking about how we can add some colour to our patio, with bulbs, as it’s very likely that we’ll be spending our time gazing over that.

This week - yes, it’s another old photo, though a more recent one - it’s one from our trip to Norfolk before the most recent changes and introduction of the tiers. The flowers and table and chairs were in the small garden outside the front door (which was at the back of the cottage - obviously) and a cheery welcome every time we got back to the cottage. In the summer I’m sure it’d be a great spot.

Post Comment Love 20-22 November

I’m finding it hard to believe that we still have almost two weeks of lockdown 2.0 to go, it feels like we should be almost there already, but we’re not. We’re noticing a difference in the levels of traffic in the evenings, but not during the day at all, and despite news of the vaccines, the news worrying. I think we’ve a way to go yet, as we will soon face an even more concerted campaign by those who don’t agree with vaccination.

I am looking forward to this weekend though and looking forward to doing some cooking as this year we’ll be making a Christmas cake as well as the usual Christmas puddings MOH makes. I may be late doing this, who knows, but it’s stir-up Sunday this weekend and MOH is on track for the puddings.

It’s another old photo for my post this week. This week we’ve skipped back to 2018, and a visit to the RHS Chelsea Flower Show. It was such a good day, that was the year that I went on Press Day, and when the show returns I’d be keen to do that again.

Post Comment Love 13-15 November

This week has been grey hasn’t it? And quite uninspiring - and that’s from MOH. He’s been keeping himself busy mostly indoors, disappearing off and reappearing to make a cup of tea, or lunch - he’s well trained. He’s been fiddling around with our house alarm, trying to fix a broken sensor - soldering it this way and that, but each time the result was an unnecessary beep, every minute, and masterfully timed so it didn’t coincide with any of my meetings - which given how many there are, is quite something. He’s given up, now I think and another one is on order, so the ‘fun’ will be repeated when that’s added to the system I’m sure.

My photo this week is one from Oistins in Barbados. I’ve been delving through my photos this week for some inspiration, and this one made me smile - as the saying goes, one careful owner…
