Preface:
Would readers please note that any actual backlogging of my work began on the 22nd of November 2019, and not from the outset of Week 1. Therefore, any work before this on my blog will be somewhat lacking in recollection, advanced information, description and developer insight. I apologise for this, but thank you sincerely for reading.
