Post Comment Love 25-27 November

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.

It’s been a pretty mundane week here on the whole. There have been some highlights: meeting a friend for lunch and a good old chinwag, two nights out - I know, who even am I? Last Thursday we went to Woolwich Works for an evening with Shaun Ryder (from the Happy Mondays) and last night we saw Squeeze at the O2, which I’d won tickets to in a competition run by our local deli. A great prize, and to be honest I’d have entered their competition to win a pot of their winter coleslaw - it’s so good! I’m writing this post ahead of the Squeeze concert but I have high hopes that they’ll be just as good as the coleslaw (I bet they’ve never had that comparison before!)

This week my photo is one of my summer bedding, which I noticed has started to flower again this week. This year the weather has most certainly been crazy, and the plants most certainly confused. I also spotted some nasturtiums which have appeared in the last few weeks, the strangest thing though - we didn’t have any in the summer when they should have been here!

Oh dear, I’m going to be talking about the weather again, which is very British of me. But it’s been dire. So much rain, we’re definitely making up for those hot and drought filled months in the summer. There’s been very little let up in the weather, so I’ve taken very few photographs of anything interesting so I’m sharing one which seemed appropriate, but still inspiring, from our trip to Devon back in September.

The other news this week is that I’ve started my Christmas gift shopping, and parcels are regularly arriving which is good news. I’m starting to plan our menus for the Christmas period, but nothing’s ever easy is it? This year avian flu is decimating many flocks, which must be heartbreaking and hopefully not bankrupting poultry farmers across the country. We’re debating whether or not to have turkey, or perhaps try something different this year. What are your plans?

Post Comment Love 11-13 November

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.

Despite it raining most of the week, once again I’ve spent very little time online and on my blog. And while that’s good in some ways, it does make me feel more behind with everything than I’d like to be. I am clearly still relishing the freedom of not being bound to my desk, but with that it seems comes the unruliness and lack of routine. Something to work on, I think.

There was a break in the rain though and I grabbed that, along with my waterproof and headed down into Greenwich. I found myself wandering around the National Maritime Museum and realised it’d been such a while since I last visited and enjoyed new and old exhibitions. I’d not seen the ship’s badges before, and they covered the walls in the Sea Things area, so for my photo this week I’m including my favourite, isn’t it great?
