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.

Pitch Imperfect

On a day of blue sky and winter sunshine, perfect for watching football, I arrived at Shildon’s Dean Street ground for the big game against Morpeth only to find the match had been called off due one corner of the pitch being judged imperfect at a noon inspection; my quick dash to nearby grounds at Bishop Auckland and West Auckland were in vain with both teams playing away, leaving me matchless for the third consecutive Saturday.
