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.

Musical Stockpiles

The oil tank in the garden is not a pretty sight, so to hide it from view a screen is required that needs to move to allow access for fuel deliveries, making it more of a gate really, for which I have constructed a frame that received its first coat of preservative today; as it was drying I realised that the gate would not open without first moving a pile of 100 bricks (awaiting a suitable project), and they couldn’t be moved without first shifting both the reserve stocks of roofing tiles and flagstones, and six logs (tree-trunk size), which respectively meant clearing out accumulated rubbish from behind the oil tank and removing useless sticks, rotted wood and associated disgusting wildlife from the wood-store, but when the music finally stopped after a couple of hours, I had a much tidier corner of the garden (hidden from view – but I’ll know it’s tidy) and multiple bags of detritus destined for the tip.
