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.

Races


Took the opportunity on a bright and sunny day to go to Sedgefield Races, paying £5 for entry to the enclosure and £1 for a glossy and colourful race card giving all the details of runners, riders, trainers and form, sufficient to make an informed punt on the likely winner; despite this, none of my selections came home in front, the only compensation being that I did not place any actual bets, providing a useful lesson for the group of eight and nine year-old schoolchildren there on a somewhat unorthodox educational visit – enjoy the racing not the gambling.
