Mass Observation Day 2012

Calling all UK friends - [livejournal.com profile] brutti_ma_buoni has just pointed out that it is almost Mass Observation Day for this year.

So this is a call for anyone and everyone to keep a diary for Saturday, May 12th, and e-mail it so that it becomes part of an archive of everyday life in Britain. The first Mass Observation Day was in 1937,and they have, more recently, become an annual event again, building up an archive of everyday life in Britain.

I took part on May 12th last year - and then put my own one-day diary on my journal here a couple of days later.

They want as many different participants as possible - I'll be doing it again - why not join in?

The full details, including what to do with your one-day diary after you have written it, are here.

I just read your diary from last year and found it fascinating. Who could have thought that incontinence could be such an interesting subject for specialisation. All your client's must be so grateful for your help.

I work in something of a Cinderella speciality - but it really is a very rewarding job, and I get to meet some fascinating people.
