Post Comment Love 5 - 7 December

Hello there, and welcome 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, and if you see 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 we’re pleased you’ve joined us.

Thanks for your good wishes last week, they have worked and my cold seems to have turned a corner. I feel less washed out, and haven’t needed to cancel things this week and managed to head back to my usual exercise classes, though opting for a Reformer Pilates class rather than a Yoga session, as I still wasn’t that sure that putting my head upside down would be a good thing!

It’s also been good to see some sun again - and feel its warmth - after lots of rain and a good few grey days. I did smile as I stepped out the back door though and noticed that the new olive tree seems to have found the sliver of sunlight, which I think can only be a good thing.

Have a great week.

It’s been a lurgy filled week here, and I wish it was gone already. It’s nothing serious but a cold that just won’t cold properly and instead just lingers, and lingers. Hopefully it’ll be done soon and I’ll be able to stop changing and cancelling plans. Fingers crossed.

But the start of our Christmas prep did start with MOH making his much requested Christmas puddings. I don’t know how many years he’s been making them, but they are good and I’m sure this years puddings will be just as good - especially once they’ve been fed with plenty of brandy.

The weather has certainly changed this week. Temperatures have dropped significantly from the unusual balmy temperatures that were so unusual for November. Somehow I think the dramatic change has made it feel all that much colder than if there’d been a gradual decline. While we did have a lot of rain last Friday, and the river levels are high, we have so far not had any snow, and hopefully it’ll stay that way.

We had a day in Nottingham last week and luckily managed to time it with the best day weather wise, which was completely unplanned but very welcome. We looked around a new to us part of the city, Sneinton Markets, which was just up my street. We discovered an independent bakery, an asian grocery shop, a couple of craft shops and a shop full of curios. The bunting caught my eye, but then I spotted some bundles of vintage fabric at too good a price not to buy, that really wasn’t in my plan, but I couldn’t leave them there!

Have a good week.
