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.

Railcard

The senior railcard had another outing today to get me up to the sixth round FA Vase tie at Dunston UTS, the ground being a short walk from the Gateshead Metro Centre station, readily reached via an hourly (and evidently popular) service from Middlesbrough that I picked up at Billingham and which took the scenic route via Hartlepool, Sunderland and Newcastle; the fare was less than £9 with the railcard, which has proved good value, repaying its modest outlay and often bringing the marginal cost of rail travel down to the fuel cost of going by car.
