Post Comment Love 19 - 21 July

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. 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.

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. 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.

What is it they say about the best laid plans? A power cut, well two major power cuts put paid to my plans to spend a day blogging last week - in total we lost power for about ten hours, which while inconvenient wouldn’t usually have been an issue. However we had family staying who’d planned to work from home at ours to avoid traffic and get a jump start on their holiday. Luckily with a holiday ahead of them they were fairly relaxed and thankfully the power came back for some of the traditional working day, but even so.

No one ever expects a major outage (or a major fault) to materialise, but until it’s not there you don’t realise quite how much you rely on it, do you? Even getting out of the gate it seems - I’d always wondered what the keys on the clicker’s key ring did, we found out last week that they’re for turning the gate to manual operation.

And as a picture of a power cut wouldn’t be fun at all, please enjoy my ox-eye daisies instead.

I can’t let this week’s PoCoLo go past without mentioning the England team at Euro 2024 - it’s been a rollercoaster of a ride following their games, but as it’s been said football is a results game, and boy have they got the results. There’s been goals in the last few minutes, a penalty shoot out and a semi-final win taking them into Sunday’s final.

We’d already booked to go wine tasting, and so unusually weren’t able to watch the game live - and kept up to date (albeit a little behind) with updates on my phone. While we’re glad it was a positive result in normal time, it was one game we’d almost hoped would go on for longer so we’d be able to catch the end in a local pub. Also unusually though, that wasn’t to be, so we had to wait (not so) patiently for the highlights, and what a game to miss!

Here’s hoping that on Sunday evening there’s as much good news for England fans everywhere - C’mon England!

And yes, my phone lock screen is that pink! It’s a recoloured version of a Norfolk beach which I though looked better with a pink hue - and it’s kinda stuck around for the last few phone upgrades too. It’s something noone else has, that’s for sure!

I’ll start with an apology - or a partial apology for the weather. I’ve a feeling we could be partly responsible, or rather the purchase of new garden furniture could be! Isn’t it always the case? Our new garden set was delivered at the end of last week, but with a busy few days ahead of us it wasn’t until Monday that MOH spent some time assembling it. Thankfully, he got it all done in time for the showers that seem to have been a ‘feature’ ever since!

But that said it has provided a fab photo for this week’s post - I’m hoping that soon we’ll have some weather that warrants actually sitting on the new chairs! Until then, stay dry…
