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.

Eurovision Cliché Contest

Although the Eurovision Song Contest took place three weeks ago it clashed with Wembley so we recorded it and tonight were able to watch it, made enjoyable by using the programme as a base for a party game with friends where points are awarded for specified clichés in the performances, some environmental (wind, pyrotechnics, fog and mist), others personal to the performer (extreme hair, tattoos or bare feet), with the most surprising point scorer this year being the presence of circus skills including a man in a giant hamster wheel, one woman hanging on a trapeze, and another careering around on a pair of roller blades; combined with a meal, wine, flags and themed prizes it made for a fun evening.
