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.

A to B

I have some sympathy for delivery drivers trying to locate addresses in our village, with the houses having names as well as numbers, and numbers often extended by the addition of A or B as properties have been split or in-filled, with the situation made worse with some properties having two doors at the front and some doors not belonging to houses at all but to passages through the to the rear of a terrace – and we contribute to the confusion by being a suffix A sandwiched between a number and its B-suffixed variant and also having two front doors; notwithstanding my aforesaid sympathy, at this time of year the repeated knocking on our second front door by people seeking the B house can get a little wearing and today it prompted me to stick a note on it confirming the door was “still A” with an arrow pointing the way to B.
