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.

City Champions

I am a day or two late in commenting on Manchester City’s second title win in three years, but the less dramatic climax this year allows for a more relaxed reaction, with the clinching game on Sunday won without hiccup in a most un-City-like fashion; as a fifteen year-old I celebrated the 1968 League Championship with youthful cheers and little appreciation of its significance (which then grew with every subsequent year of under-achievement), and 44 years later I marked the 2012 win with tears, but this time it was just a contented “yes” as the Radio Five Live commentary counted down the last minutes of the season.
