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.

Death of a Pirate (& Parrot)

A murder mystery dinner on a buccaneering theme required a pirate outfit, so rather than hire from a local costumier (cost £20), I combined my wedding shirt from 1997 with my sons pyjamas tucked into my football socks that last saw action circa 2004, stuck silver foil buckles on my shoes with paper clips, and purchased a “light and sound enhanced” cutlass (cost £2.99); it was a good night and while the murder of Captain Kidd went unsolved there was no mystery over the demise of my inflatable parrot – punctured by the fangs of the host’s dog!
