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.

Daycare

A visit to Manchester today to visit my aged and currently housebound dad and stepmum, enabling me to play a small part in providing care for a very independent couple, manoeuvring stiff legs, crutches and walking stick into the non-too-spacious Nissan for a drive to the library where they scoured the large print shelves in search of books they had not already read (and surreptitiously marked as such), calling on the way back at the supermarket (“just Aldi, that Tesco is too bloody big”) for a shuffle round the aisles; it gave them some fresh air and a change of scenery, and I got, as ever, a good cooked dinner and some home baked cake before setting off back over the Pennines.
