Post Comment Love 28-30 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.

I’m struggling to believe that October is almost done, but yet we have temperatures similar to those of summer (a normal summer, not the summer we had this year). Though it has been nice to be out without a coat, though always with an umbrella close to hand - just in case. Luckily I’ve missed most of the heavy downpours, and an umbrella feels like overkill for the drizzle.

Yesterday I was up in central London and ended up walking from Victoria, past Buckingham Palace and onto Trafalgar Square as the weather was so lovely. I’ll share more about my trip into town in a separate post - but it was totally blissful and relaxing. My photo is from the hotel foyer which had the most amazing floral display in the central lobby, using multiple glass vases and autumnal blooms and greenery. Absolutely gorgeous.

I hope you’re keeping well and enjoying the autumn weather as much as you can, when you can. We’ve had a couple of glorious autumn days here followed by a couple of very changeable ones. We’ve also had our covid booster jab (our fourth) and our flu jabs and were lucky that they coincided with one of the better days, meaning our walk into Greenwich was much more pleasant. And it’s looking like we’re both ok with the jabs too, a bit of a sore arm but that’s about it.

I was rather taken with this vintage style poster that was on display in the very traditional chemist where we received our Covid jabs. It’s old, but perhaps not quite as old as you first think - in the bottom left corner it has a date of 09/09, making it just 13 years old, which in itself is pretty impressive. But not quite vintage - cute though, and an important message.

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.
