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.

Anniversary Challenge

Our wedding anniversary falls soon after our birthdays, themselves not long after Christmas, so with present ideas being exhausted we have followed a fun and (initially) inexpensive system whereby we buy a present made from the traditional material and costing a pound for each year being celebrated, so for our first anniversary the presents were made of paper and cost £1, for the second  they were cotton items costing £2, all the way up to a piece of crystal costing £15; that was a couple of years ago and to cover the unallocated gap to 20 years (when it will be china) we have to improvise by buying a combination of items that adds up both in terms of years and cost – a mathematical challenge tackled at the shops today with some success.
