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.

Animal Accounts

A day spent doing what I do best: a set of accounts, these for my sister and brother-in-law who have a small business in the picturesque south-west of England making and selling hand-made pottery animals, of which we have quite a selection – maritime (seals, dolphin, puffin and even a whale), woodland (badger, owl & hedgehog) and farmyard (cow, pig, sheep and a shepherd bearing an uncanny resemblance to me); as ever we are close to the 31 January deadline for submission of the tax self-assessment, but with no competing employed activity and a process honed over the last 21 years it will be turned around in a couple of days, earning no fee but knowing a week’s bed and breakfast in sunny Cornwall will always be available.
