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.

Regular Guy

With a stay at a high-end hotel imminent I high-tailed it to a not-so-high-end clothing retailer to buy a smart pair of trousers (so as not to detract from my wife’s haute couture at dinner) and took a pair of my usual ‘34 short’ into the fitting room to try on, only to find the bottoms of the trouser legs flapping round my ankles when I stood and shooting up my calves when I sat; I tried again with a ’34 regular’ and found them perfect, so either my legs have had a long-delayed growth spurt or, more likely, my waist has moved north as my stomach has moved south.
