The year 2017 has been a year of firsts in many ways, some of them good, others not quite so much. However, one thing has remained throughout, is that family and friends are a vital part of survival.

When the Reseal Tab Never Sticks
Today has been one of those days when you think it would have been better to skip it and move straight to Sunday.
