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, posts which are older will be removed from the linky. 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.
This week we’ve been making the most of the unseasonal October weather while it lasted. We’ve been painting the trellis around our heat pump, which in my photo this week looks like it’s shaping up like a 1980s tracksuit! Don’t worry, it’s all ‘black ash’ now and it’s made such a difference. It’s been a lot of work too, as what you can’t see from here is that the trellis diagonals are ridged.
MOH started while I caught up with some gardening, and this was how far he’d got when I joined him. He has done most of it but over three days we’ve got the three trellis outsides done, the four posts and part of one panel inside. And then we ran out of paint, so later we’re off to replenish our supplies.
The nicer weather also saw me join MOH on a bike ride to our local farm shop for lunch and a more scenic route home, it wasn’t as sunny as it had been the days before, but that was probably a good thing!
Yesterday there was a much more autumnal feel to the day, which reminds us we’ll need to contact the developers to have our lesson on how to work our heating - when we moved in in the summer, they rightly said we’d probably forget it all! Now that the weather looks to be turning I think I’d like to have that knowledge for when we need it.
