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.

Car Park Pounded

The midweek TV documentary exposing Aldi’s cost-cutting, corner-cutting practices did not seem to have any effect on the supermarket’s popularity, or at least the popularity of its car park in Newton Aycliffe, which I circled twice in vain before giving up, parking elsewhere and going to the bakers to buy some bread (the only necessity on the shopping list); my subsequent check back on the Aldi car park was more successful, enabling me to slot into the only one of the seventy-five bays free, however with no more than twenty or so in the store it was apparent that the rest of the drivers were queuing at the tills of the newly opened £1 shop next door.
