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.

Les Temps, C’est Vrai

In town this morning I checked my new watch and saw the date had changed from MAR 27 to a puzzling MEIR 28, so I popped into the jewellers where it was purchased and discovered that my Swiss watch was not indicating the month but the day of the week in its own language, yesterday being Mardi and today some variation on Mercredi; the lady in the shop did something to make it read WED so for the time being at least my timepiece and I are communicating in the same lingo.
