Post Comment Love 12-14 January

January 12, 2024

Hello there, and welcome back 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. Please don’t link up posts which are older as they will be removed from the linky, and if older posts are linked then please don’t feel that it’s necessary to comment on those. 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, comment 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’ve joined us.

I feel like I’ve had a productive week, but one in which I don’t seem to have achieved a huge amount. I have managed to just about get to grips with the new to me Google Analytics tools, mainly so I could tick off the Top 10 post from my list.

I do like ticking things off my list - virtual or on paper, and yes, I’ve been known to add things to the list just so I can tick them off. That’s totally normal, right?

My photo this week is of some gorgeous flowers which arrived in the post - aren’t they lovely? They arrived on one of the chillier days and I think they were feeling the cold, but after a few hours in water and in the warm they perked up, let’s hope they want to hang around for a while.

Have a good week.

Post Comment Love 5 - 7 January

Hello there, Happy New Year and welcome back 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. Please don’t link up posts which are older as they will be removed from the linky, and if older posts are linked then please don’t feel that it’s necessary to comment on those. 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, comment and share some of that love.

We’ve had all the weather here - including a lot of rain; so much so that when we walked towards the River Trent on New Year’s Day it was easy to see that it was full again, and we’ve had more rain since. There’s just nowhere for the water to go at present, here’s hoping that the weather behaves more over the coming days and weeks so that the water tables can return to more normal levels, and that no more storms head our way (and I mean that for us all).

Our first Christmas in our new house was good, with lots of family visiting and plenty of memories made. We even had one of those rare nacreous clouds over our back garden, and while it’s not the greatest picture, that’s the photo I’m sharing this week. It was much more dramatic in real life.

Here’s wishing you all a happy and peaceful 2024, and here’s to another year of our friendly linky - please do pop over to some of the other posts and share some love, it’s one of my intentions to read more blogs this year.

Hello there, and welcome back 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. Please don’t link up posts which are older as they will be removed from the linky.

If you were here last week it was great to have you along, if you’re new here this week we’re pleased you’ve joined us.

This is the final linky of the year, we return on 5 January 2024. Thank you to everyone who has joined us this year and shared some love on the posts linked, both Suzanne and I wish you all a very Merry Christmas and we look forward to welcoming you back next year for more posts, commenting and love.

MOH has been on a mission to get all those jobs done and in shock news we have finally hung some pictures in our lounge and some key pictures which we brought from our old house - it seems strange to see them on the walls here.

This week has been all about getting ready for Christmas here. Some obvious things like getting our Christmas cards sent, retrieving the Christmas tree and decorations from the garage where they’ve been since we moved as well as putting those decorations up - thankfully everything moved here safely - to some much less overt tasks such as ironing bedding, less obvious but no less important.

It’s been good to be able to share my new decoration, one which I bought earlier in the year to mark our house move. I think the decoration was originally designed for family names and/or pets, but a house move seems an equally momentous occasion to mark.
