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.

Poolside

A new minibus driving job today with the short trip from school to the swimming pool for the gala practice session, and there was no sloping off for coffee as my attendance was required poolside (such presence being purely cosmetic given my propensity to sink in water) where the echoing sound and chlorinated smell took me back to some of my worst schooldays; however these kids were confident and proficient, their only problem being exiting the pool for which the steps were needed in most cases, whereas I was the opposite – useless in the water but the quickest when it came to getting out.
