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.

Knights and Princesses (Friday 11/7/14)

Drove the school minibus full of young knights and princesses to Richmond to visit the castle and had a lovely time exploring the ruins and the grounds, with most of my attention directed to (with names changed to protect the innocent): Princess Limpet who stuck to my side throughout through choice and Princess Naughty who was compelled to do so by the teacher; Sir Trottalot who, despite being unsteady on his feet, refused his wheelchair and skipped merrily across the cobbles with me hanging on to his wrist; and finally two knights (Sir Plus-Energy and Sir Feit of Vim) who fought with mismatched weaponry that forced one of them to abandon his foam rubber sword and rely instead on bashing his opponent with his wooden shield.
