Introduction


Can each day be headlined by a word (or two) and represented by a single sentence?

Will they, in turn, weave together to form a tapestry of the year?

It may be more mundane than momentous, but it’s mine to share.

Marske Mascot


Saturday football took me back to Marske-by-the-Sea for the big FA Cup tie with Halesowen Town, and football aside (see other blog for details) the highlight was the home team’s new mascot, or should it be Marske-ot, in the form of a human bulldog dressed in the home strip with a head more resembling a wild boar than Churchill the insurance dog; he insinuated himself into the opening handshake ritual to the bemusement of the officials and opponents and danced a joyous jig at the final whistle before being mobbed by the players amid calls from some fans for RSPCA intervention.
