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.

Baked Off

Apparently while 5 million people tuned in to watch the live England v Norway match last night, nearly twice as many watched the Great British Bake Off instead, and although I watched neither (preferring the delights of an FA Cup replay in Bishop Auckland) it was the Bake Off that was on the timer to record, however before I could settle down to watch it tonight, Radio Five Live started the sports report with an amusing mini-feature on the contrasting viewing figures which appropriately reflected the excitement generated; despite being well practised in the art of avoiding football scores in advance of Match of the Day, I was unprepared for a GBBO spoiler and failed to block out the name of this week’s evictee (fortunately, as it happens, no great surprise).
