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.

Material Girl

My wife likes little better than a good root around a fabric shop so news of a discount day sent her scurrying off to Leven Crafts in Guisborough for some bargain dress material, with my presence required to discuss the relative merits of the cloth on show; once in the shop, bolts were taken of shelves, unravelled, draped over shoulders, and found wanting in some aspect or another (in some promising cases it was the quantity that fell short) before finally a purchase was made enabling us to leave – after which the staff no doubt sighed with relief and began to put the premises back into some sort of order.
