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.

The Train Takes the Strain

A trip to Salford and back in a day to tidy up some of my dad’s pension paperwork was undertaken by train, actually five trains in all, and coincidentally using five different stations – Darlington, Manchester Victoria, Walkden, Stalybridge and York; remarkably the trains were all (near as dammit) on time, seats were available, and connections were timely and effective, so it all went very well, enabling me to, as the old slogan used to proclaim, let the train take the strain.
