Forget great inventions such as the wheel, nails, penicillin, the light bulb, the internet, the use of fire and bras.

I have something better to brag about.

Watch out for the new Dart Door, coming to a market or shop near you soon.

Well, perhaps.

I finally won glory in the eyes of my kids with my self-proclaimed invention of the decade: a portable dart door.

I bought an old door from the tip and nailed a dart board to it so the kids can throw sharp missiles whenever they feel the need.

Our house has too many brick walls and clutter for a good spot to hang a dart board.

So, this genius idea allows you to move the whole door to a location that has a view or perhaps just out of the weather, with a nice narrow alleyway to hurl your darts towards the target.

I have not trademarked my brilliant idea, so you are welcome to copy it.

In the meantime, a passion for darts has been lit in our home.

Darts is the ultimate all-inclusive sport as anyone can play it as any age at any time of the day.

Sure, our poodles sometimes are nearly hit with a wayward dart.

But overall, it is a game we embrace.

Its inception can be traced way back to the end of the 19th century where soldiers used to aim at casks or tree trunks with short arrows.

It quickly became a pastime in the battlefield.

My Dart Door idea prompted me to research the best inventions released this year.

I have mixed feelings about this, as I assume it also tells you if you are drinking too much wine and eating too much KFC.

Some things in life are best left a mystery.

And my favourite new product on the market is a pillow that feels like it’s breathing when you hold it.

It slowly contracts and expands as you clutch it, which trains your body to do the same and sends you off to sleep.

Some may say it sounds creepy but I think it is a great way to nod off after a good game of darts and a nice feed.

Sometimes, it is the simple things.
