Post Comment Love 14-16 October

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.

The work redecorating the outside of our house is continuing, and we’re hopeful that the scaffolding will be coming down in the middle of next week so we’ll be able to admire the work more fully. Our decorators have been great and of course the odd cup of coffee (with the obligatory two sugars) has been welcomed. I’ve not been out so much in the past week as with my car taking up a different space in our shared parking arrangements I haven’t wanted to abandon it and prevent our neighbours getting in or out of their spaces. But I did get into town last Friday and I’m sharing more about the exhibition I visited in the post I’ve linked this week - to give you a hint of the subject matter, this week my photo is one from the after-exhibition shop.

Post Comment Love 7-9 October

After the relative shock of autumn arriving last week it’s been a week adapting to the changed season and darker evenings and settling into a different routine. Like many people we’re watching our energy use, and we don’t yet have our heating on so the sunny days have been most welcome. The reports yesterday of potential scheduled power cuts in worse case scenarios is worrying, and I don’t understand why there is such resistance from government to encourage people to use less. Instead there is misinformation on the energy price cap - it’s staggeringly unbelievable, perhaps even more so as my work life was predominantly spent in communications, getting messages across to people clearly.

But anyway, I can’t fix that so instead let me share more about my photo this week - the most glorious dahlia - enjoying the sun, and which is about the size of a dinner plate too!

Post Comment Love 30 September - 2 October

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.

This week it’s felt more autumnal and I’ve been embracing that, well most of it - the darker evenings are less good, but on the plus side autumn food is a winner in my books. We’ve currently got scaffolding up at the front of our house as we’re having the outside repainted, and that’s not helping with the darker evenings. But it will be great to have the outside freshened up, and yes we are still selling our house but are of the opinion that it’s ours til its sold, and that means keeping up with its upkeep too.

I’ve remembered that I have these two tiny ceramic pumpkins, and as it’s rolling into October this weekend it must be about time to get those out again!
