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.

Mousetrap

Not a rodent problem - this refers to the Agatha Christie play currently on tour to celebrate its sixtieth year in the West End, seen tonight at the recently refurbished Forum Theatre in Billingham, which I found impressive with its well-appointed auditorium and its purposeful bar (lacking ambiance but spacious with plenty of seating); the play itself was enjoyable with polished performances, though inevitably dated to the modern audience (who are used to seeing current TV crime dramas that took up the baton from Christie and developed, over six decades, a highly sophisticated art form), but here the point was to see the legendary production, clearly famous for its longevity rather than its dramatic impact.
