Can each day be headlined by a word (or two) and represented by a single sentence?

Will they, in turn, weave together to form a tapestry of the year?

It may be more mundane than momentous, but it’s mine to share.

Galapagos (Monday 23/9/13)


The Kindle deal of the day just occasionally tempts, and today 99p got me ‘Galapagos’ by Kurt Vonnegut, whose haunting ‘Slaughterhouse 5’ has stuck in my consciousness (reinforced by the Donald Sutherland film and an excellent radio adaptation) since reading it in 1972 when, as a student, I also got my paperback copy signed by the man himself who visited Edinburgh University on a promotional tour.
