Post Comment Love 29-31 July

Welcome to this week’s #PoCoLo - a friendly linky which I co-host with Suzanne, where you can link any blog 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. If you were here last week it was great to have you along, if you’re new here this week we’re pleased you’re here.

I didn’t post on my blog last week, in the end life conspired against me - something it’s making a habit of lately, unfortunately - I’m sure in part it’s related to stopping work recently. My body is sensing I have time to deal with things right now, and while I do, I’d much prefer to be doing things of my choice. Hopefully things will even themselves out soon, and I’ll be getting out and about a bit more - I’ve plenty of plans!

Post Comment Love 22-24 July

This week no doubt you’ll have seen that in the UK we’ve been experiencing record breaking temperatures at the start of this week. I hope you all managed to keep (relatively) cool and healthy. Along with the high temperatures there were also wildfires, which are devastating to see, let alone experience first hand. On the hottest day with temperatures of 38 degrees Celsius for us we mostly stayed inside following the advice. MOH was a bit like a caged bird, but ventured out onto our patio briefly at lunchtime quickly coming back in declaring that it was “like Barbados out there” - and he wasn’t wrong.

Much has been said about the temperatures and how this is likely to happen more often because of climate change. I think we have a long way to go in changing attitudes here, let alone adapting our buildings and infrastructure. But it comes to something when we think that temperatures of 26 degrees, which followed the next day, as cool.

Our UK heatwave is continuing and the forecasts are predicting even more warm weather early next week. And it’s hot, probably too hot for a lot of us, and it really does make you think about how we’re not really set up for the extremes of weather in the UK, but for the most of it we just get on with it. Moaning that there’s no summer, or it’s too cold when we don’t have good weather, and moaning that it’s too hot when we do!

This weekend MOH is doing another of his long bike rides, this time overnight to Dunwich in Suffolk. He did it last year for the first time, and must have enjoyed it to do it again. He’s been watching the weather forecasts closely for obvious reasons.
