asking for trouble

Year 4

 IMG_4182

Now that it’s July I’ve started a new year in my prototype 5 Year Diary, making it into my fourth year! I still really enjoy reading it and being able to see what I was doing that day on previous years (quite often the exact same thing!). There are often interesting coincidences, like my post about 5 A Day tote bags selling out happening almost exactly a year after the first ones arrived in the post. I don’t think my diary will be very interesting to future humanity but it’s fun for me.

It also means it’s time for me to think about designing next year’s diary, to follow on from these three. I was considering a space design, but I will selfishly save that for next year when I’ll be needing a new one! Perhaps it’s time for my fruit and veg characters to have a chance. If there’s something you’d like to see, let me know.

I’ve already had some people asking about diaries for next year – if you visit the 5 Year Diary page, you can sign up to be notified as soon as they’re available!
