drilling into brickwork

Am having problems drilling into brickwork. Drill won't go any further than approx 2cm before it reaches a block. What is likely to be causing the block? How should I attach the shelves to this wall with confidence that they will be able to carry weight?

Drilling into render

I need to fix a trellis into render on an exterior wall. I think that drilling into render is a bad thing to do as it invites damp. Am I right? Does anyone have advice about how to do it without shattering the render?
