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.

This week I’ve started to dip a toe into the festive season, most of it all work related with some preparation for an event before the end of the year. I think it must have rubbed off though as I think this weekend we’ll put some Christmas decorations up. It’s early for us, but as others have already said, this year everything’s different.

I’m sticking with my Portuguese theme and my photo is one from a wander around Lisbon in July last year. We also have a restaurant near us with this name, and it’s one I’m missing visiting. It has the hugest steaks, and I’d better stop there or else I’ll be missing it even more. It’s a small restaurant at the best of times, so I’m not sure quite how many people they can cater for, but I’m pretty sure it’ll be popular.
