One Day diary for Mass Observation

On the 12th May 2021, the Mass Observation Archive will be repeating its annual call for day diaries, capturing the everyday lives of people across the UK. The written diaries will be stored in the Archive at The Keep and be used by a wide range of people for research, teaching and learning.
In 1937 Mass Observation called for people from all parts of the UK to record everything they did from when they woke up in the morning to when they went to sleep at night on 12th May. This was the day of George VI’s Coronation. The resulting diaries provide a wonderful glimpse into the everyday lives of people across Britain and have become an invaluable resource for those researching countless aspects of the era.
We don’t know how life will be on the 12th May, but we would like your help to document it. Please tell your family and friends. It will be valuable to have a collection from people of all ages across the UK.
Details of how to take part are on the Mass Observation website. http://www.massobs.org.uk/write-for-us/12th-may
As it happens I have done very little due to the weather. I went to the library this morning and this afternoon we did something we never do during the day - watch TV, though we were watching the last three episodes of the Killing, and were completely hooked. Let’s hope that other people have had more exciting days
