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

The annual Eurovision Song Contest is made bearable by making it the centrepiece of a party night where couples earn points based on what happens on stage such as use of special effects (wind machine, fog, pyrotechnics), the singer’s appearance (tattoos, hat, bare midriff) or antics (circus skills, discarding clothing), to which is added points earned by three countries drawn at random; the winners, and the losers, get European themed prizes, each attached to a home-made flag – Australia and Italy were good choices (wine), Greece less so (olives).
