Post Comment Love 2 - 4 August

Hello there, and welcome back to this week’s #PoCoLo - a relaxed, 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 a glorious few days we’ve had weather-wise, with actual sun and high temperatures - though of course, it’s not forecast to last much longer, but as I write this the thunderstorms haven’t arrived yet…

We’ve spent time this week preparing for the wardrobe inserts that are being fitted early next week. Both wardrobes have been emptied, which has meant our spare room is now full of clothes (and more) and MOH has spent quite a bit of time removing the battens which the shelf and hanging rail were balanced on. It’s been quite a task, or getting the battens out has been - though if the rest of the house is built as well, that’ll stand us in good stead!

My photo this week is one from a local field - we explored a new to us path, joining the two walks we’ve up til now done independently, and I snapped this as we walked alongside a field of barley. I’m sure we’ll walk this way again now, but probably only in the warmer and dryer months.

It’s been a busy week here - catching up following a full on day trip to London, prepping for and enjoying birthday celebrations for my dad’s 90th birthday at the weekend, and then a day out in Nottingham yesterday making the most of our time to explore our new city while my car was in for its service and first MOT. All of it went well - even keeping the buttercream cake cool on the warmest days so far, and much fun was had by all - and the car passed its MOT too, though this really should never have been in doubt!

My photo this week is something else we’ve finally got onto the wall here. It’s a ‘colour wheel’ side plate from Anna Stark’s reimagined range - where her strapline is ‘vintage inspired homeware with a modern twist’. It was a present from my SIL at Christmas and while I always knew it was going in the craft room, I was between two spots for it. I finally decided so it’s on the wall!

Have a good week!

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.
