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.

Map Redding

In a night only too reminiscent of Brexit I saw Democrat hopes flicker and gradually fade as the results came in, recorded in red or blue on my home made election map of the USA that had each state’s size adjusted to reflect their electoral college votes (cloned from a similar one in the “i” newspaper); while Florida and Pennsylvania remained uncalled there was still a hope for Clinton but she’d need both, and at 5am when Florida went Republican red by 1% (Pennsylvania would soon follow by the same narrow margin) the game was up and I could go to bed in the knowledge that no nightmare could beat this.
