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.

Taking Stock

I have long since stopped taking stock of my life each New Year’s Eve and instead today took stock of my socks and underwear; finding them both thin on the ground and thin in the fabric I decided it was time to re-stock and spent a tidy half hour in the Matalan store pondering over the quite bewildering array on offer, the sizes straightforward, the fabric mix less so and, in the case of pants, the range of styles a bit of a minefield with a whole new lexicon of terms to come to grip with – slips, briefs, hipsters, boxers, y-front, button up, keyhole (and the unspoken no-hole) and that is before the issue of colour is considered.
