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.

Fill Her Up

Twenty years ago when we moved into the village (where there was and remains no gas supply) the price of kerosene to fuel the oil-fired central heating was about 15 pence a litre, but over the years it rose inexorably (sometimes alarmingly) to reach about 60p during 2011 & 2012; the drop since then has been welcome and with today’s delivery costing just over 24p a litre there was only one thing to say to the tanker driver – fill her up.
