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.

Swede


Monday is supermarket shop day (I like routine, agreeing with Sheldon from the Big Bang Theory that it frees the mind from having to make too many trivial decisions) alternating between Aldi (good value) and Morrisons (less so but some brands we just can’t do without), and today I am on automatic pilot in Aldi queuing at the till with a conveyor belt full of groceries when a bloke makes his way down the line holding just a swede asking if he can go first; of course I oblige but can’t help wondering why would anyone be so desperate for a swede to go out purely for that purchase – milk yes, eggs yes, bread yes, beer ok, cigs ok, but a swede!
