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.

Olympic Opportunities

The Rio Olympic Games came to an end with the GB medal haul of 67 being remarkable not only for the quantity but also the spread, covering 19 of the 31 sports, going to show the breadth of sporting opportunity offered in the country; this is also illustrated by my own experience of having participated to a greater, lesser, or one-off extent in (coincidentally also, but not the same) 19 of them; the 12 sports I have missed out on include five that require fighting and six that involve excessive involvement with water, to both of which I have an aversion.
