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.

Varnishing Act

A cool showery bank holiday week-end tends to see me funnelled into repair and maintenance so I plumped for an easy option and did a vanishing act into the barn and spent several hours yesterday and another hour today sanding down and varnishing the patio table, a not unpleasant job provided there is some sport or drama on the radio to distract and entertain (Championship play-off yesterday and Monaco Grand Prix today); however it proved to be a mere appetiser as on my return to the house I found my wife had made a start on redecorating what we mysteriously call the dairy (a downstairs utility room containing sink, toilet, boiler, clothes dryer, shoe rack and coat hooks) – and what she starts to decorate I inevitably end up finishing.
