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.

King Lear

This afternoon’s jaunt to see King Lear at the Grand Opera House worked pretty well, finishing work at noon, getting a fast train (25 minutes) to York to arrive in plenty of time for the matinee, and enjoying from a good seat in the circle for an intense three hour performance from a good cast led by veteran thespian Michael Pennington; false flattery, duplicity, usurpation, madness, torture, adultery, murder and suicide with only two of the cast left standing by the final curtain – what’s not to like.
