Introduction


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.

Weighty Agenda

A good portion of the day was spent ploughing through the papers for tomorrow’s termly meeting of the school governing body which, at 297 pages weighing 720g (1lb 9oz in old money), resembles a decent novel in length if not in entertainment value, although it is all good stuff that needs to be shared, understood and in some cases approved by the assembled volunteers who each have responsibilities as governor, director and trustee; in mitigation I had already gone through 94 pages for Finance Committee, but on the other hand there are 3 items to be tabled (all for information) that were not posted due to their size(!), presumably for fear of legal claims by posties with strained backs, so the final reckoning could bump up the page count from novel to epic, and the weight from not quite a bag of sugar to well over a bag of flour.
