At last, after a week of bright sunshine, there are a few flowers in the pots in my back yard - and it looks as if the theme for the summer is going to be Barbie pink, I think - they are definitely doing best at the moment!

Cut for the pics... )

In other news, my shoulder and arm are feeling much better - not right, but a lot better.

And tomorrow, being the 12th of the month, [livejournal.com profile] hobbituk has reminded me that we are going to do a mini version of the observation day, and post about our day - do feel free to join us - your ordinary day is fascinating to everyone else!

Just saw a reminder on [livejournal.com profile] ffutures journal that it is Mass Observation Day on May 12th. For UK friends, if you want more info, and how to participate, just click here. This regular event has built up a wonderful archive of everyday life in Britain, over many years, for the use of researchers now and in the future. It is all anonymous. They hope you are having a totally ordinary day as well, so don't feel that you couldn't participate as nothing exciting is likely to happen.

I have actually posted my last two MO diaries, if you are interested in my very ordinary life you can read them if you click my mass observation tag.

Actually May 12th will be a slightly unusual Sunday for us as our new minister will be taking her first service at our church!

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.

My daughter just passed this link on to me. It is a call for anyone and everyone to keep a diary for tomorrow, Thursday May 12th, and e-mail it to become part of an archive of everyday life in Britain - the first was made in 1937, so a good tradition!

I'll be doing it - why not join in?
