Post Comment Love 19-21 November

Welcome to this week’s #PoCoLo - a friendly linky which I co-host with Suzanne, where you can link any 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.

Well the Bond film was long - probably not the best, but one glad I’ve seen and one that had me wiping a tear from my eye. The cinema was the best bit for me - small and mostly empty, but MOH was less impressed, he thought the sound wasn’t comparable to the larger screens. He’s probably true, but those are the ones that normally make me jump!

We had our booster jabs, but the organisation was, and being kind, chaotic. Nothing like the previous well organised operation for our first and second jabs. We went to our local hospital, and well if there’s more jabs, never again. We were in danger of running out of time on our 1 hour parking ticket, but the jab is done and the people administering it were great, it was just the organisation that made me despair.

But onto happier things, my photo is one from the Knitting & Stitching Show - such detail, such work and such talent. I’d happily have that on my wall.

Black and white geometric patterns

When I walked into this room at the Argentine Ambassador’s Residence my breath was almost taken away. It was the modern geometric patterns against the traditional greys of the room - there couldn’t have been a better setting. But would you believe it, the tablecloths and ceramics aren’t by the same artist - but how well do they go together?

The main event here for me really is the ceramic sculptures. They’re by Björk Haraldsdóttir and it’s not only the strong patterns but the shapes of the pieces which fascinate me. I’m not sure I could choose a favourite piece, though the pair on the left of the photo below would be high up on my list.

Yes, these two.

It’s a pipe dream though as they’re out of my price range, but a girl can dream right?

And those tablecloths? They’re by Colour Squatters, which if I’m honest look great with these but are also pricey for tablecloths. But such a great match, and an expensive dream!

Post Comment Love 12-14 November

Welcome to this week’s #PoCoLo - a friendly linky which I co-host with Suzanne, where you can link any 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 writing this post earlier in the week than normal so it feels like not much has happened yet. That’s not true of course, but the reason for getting ahead of myself is because we’re finally off to see the latest Bond film. As is our usual way, just before the film ends its run at the local cinema! From the seating plan of the cinema, it’s only a small space and when I checked last there’s only a few seats booked. While it’s not great for the cinema to have more empty seats than full, to be honest it suits me just fine.

Later today we’re off for our booster Covid jab and hopefully I’ll feel more settled once that’s been done. It remains a funny old time. Hope all is good with you and yours, and you’ve still all your marbles - I’m questioning (again) if I have mine. But all is not lost, I know a shop in Norfolk where we can get some more!
