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.

Beach BC

Hats off to the BBC for adopting distinct styles of coverage on their two main Olympic channels, with BBC1 aimed at the sports enthusiast, studio based with expert analysis, and BBC4 aimed at those looking for a more relaxed social vibe, presented in the evening from a table on Copacabana Beach; at the fag-end of the fortnight I’m increasingly tuning-in to the inconsequential nonsense - conversations with the locals, spotting the binmen and, last night, commenting on the “red” moon - at least until the athletics begins at midnight UK time.
