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.

Driving Day

A triple shift driving the minibus today as I criss-crossed Darlington picking up and dropping off children from two schools to two separate destinations, then later retrieving them and returning them to (hopefully the correct) school; along with diversions for rest, recuperation and refreshment between shifts, I reckon there were 9 zig-zags (5 zigs and 4 zags), and after clocking up 70 miles in the bus it took a while to readjust to my car, in particular to resist the urge to change up to sixth gear, which position in the C-Max gearbox is unfortunately occupied by reverse.
