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.

Time Machine

When I awoke yesterday morning my bedside radio alarm clock indicated it was 14:15, which seemed quite a lie-in even for a bank holiday and, worse, gave the date as 18 May 2004, which meant I had not yet retired and was back at work tomorrow, however my fears were allayed when I looked out of the window and saw the 2016 registered mini parked next door; by lunchtime it had automatically corrected but again this morning it had gone awry, showing 17:46 in the year 0000, providing a rare opportunity to fly to Bethlehem to witness an historic birth – except of course aeroplanes weren’t yet invented nor, for that matter, digital clocks.
