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.

Half-Way House

On this last day of the summer months our flat pack summerhouse arrived early and I got cracking straight away, identifying all the bits of wood and ironmongery (which took an hour) before calling in the student for some technical assistance (“hold that up while I drill/screw/hammer”); it was a bit more complex than the average flat pack construction, particularly it being outdoors on a breezy day, but we managed to get the four walls attached together and to the floor, and then the roof fixed on, complete with felting (in this element the student graduated to skilled apprentice) before it went dark, leaving it a summer-half-way-house (door-less and window-less) overnight.
