My latest bookshop find was a small diary sitting in a wicker basket, with its silver edged pages glinting coyly. My eyes immediately went to the beautiful Tiffany blue cover. In silver lettering, it read: "

You can fill it with all your secrets!

For example:

Your day was (

only choose one)

( ) just fine.

( ) Murphy's law.      ( ) cat and mouse.
