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.

Confused.Thom

A no-show for my tutor session gave me an earlier than expected opportunity to nip into town and boost the euro balance on my cash passport ahead of the Barcelona trip, and I entered the travel agents with my head full of exchange rates and likely daily spends as I approached the foreign currency desk and presented the card with my request to fill it up; the bemused cashier politely pointed out that I was in Thompsons and the card was issued by Thomas Cook, just next door, saying “don’t worry it happens a lot”, and leaving unsaid “particularly to old duffers like you”.
