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.

When I’m Cleaning Windows

Up a ladder at the front of the house, bucket and leather in hand, I was not surprised to be addressed as George Formby by the next door neighbour, but with nothing noteworthy for me to peep at inside the house my mind instead wandered free and alighted on a couple of thoughts: first, my wife’s complaint that I do not clean the toilets fails to take account that quite a lot of what I was washing off the glass and white UVPC frames is actually fly faeces; second, my removal from every corner of every window of woolly chrysalis matter, at this time of year, could severely affect the moth population next spring.
