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.

Big Shelf

What started as a mezzanine, then a hay loft, currently resembles a big shelf, as it is now fully loaded with toys for future generations (Duplo, Lego, Barbie, Bob the Builder, army trucks and soldiers, castle and knights in armour, construction plant, even books), camping gear (in case we ever get another summer), and unused sports gear (in the unlikely eventuality someone we know decides to take up golf, cricket, tennis, badminton, squash or weightlifting); at this point it struck me that the cost of re-buying it all (if and) when we needed it again, would have been considerably less than we spent constructing the storage space, but the regret was momentary as the project has other benefits that are already taking shape.
