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.

No Office Party

There was no early sign of the newly coined ‘Black-eye Friday’ in Yarm this lunchtime as I met two other retired gentlefolk, with whom I used to share an office (or at least a ‘pod’ of desks) for what I termed an office party for those who no longer have an office; the two course meal was excellent and the conversation was convivial as we caught up on news and regurgitated favourite working memories (the former finally, after a few years, becoming more prevalent and interesting than the latter), which kept us occupied for two and a half hours until the more heavy duty office parties moved in, and we, as befitted our status, moved out.
