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.

Pipped


Took part in a quiz for the third time in about a month, looking to improve on previous performances of 7th out of 12 and rank bottom out of 5, and things looked good as we were three points in the lead going in to the last round of questions, or rather riddles along the line of “can a man marry his widow’s sister” (A: of course not he must be dead to have a widow!); given the trickiness of the questions, often turning on dubious semantics, we did quite well to get 14 out of 20, but our nearest rivals got 18 and so pipped us by a point.
