Would You Like To Write A One Day Diary For Mass Observation Day - 12 May 2018?

Last year I put a post on here about the annual Mass Observation Day Diary Event.  I explained that in 1937 there was a social anthropology project called Mass Observation which called for people to keep a diary.  The most famous diarist was Nella Last who was portrayed by the late, great Victoria Wood in the superb drama 'Housewife, 49'.

The event I am posting about is only a one day event.  There are some people who do on-going diaries for Mass Observation but not every one meets the criteria they want for this.  However, everyone can join in the one day event.

This is the link for the post I put on here last year:

Sorry, Iluleah, I accidentally put the wrong link on.  Whoops. :-[ Thank you Jen for correcting this.  It took me a few minutes to work out what question Iluleah was referring to.  It is a good thing I have Jen on here to keep me right.  :)

This is such a good idea! I am in Australia and can't join in, but hoping it's a great success.

Hi Top-of-the-hill and Macushla thank you for your posts.  :) I also did this last year.  I am not sure if they will get in touch with previous years diarists - I am just going to send mine in this year anyway even if I don't get officially asked.

I remember last year being told (in response to my enquiry) that they have no filter system for filtering out diary entries from other countries so they were accepting these as well.  I would presume it will be the same this year.

Some other countries have their own diary day event too. :)

I think this is a great idea too, Macushla.  I intend to take part in this every year now.  I also intend to waive my anonymity after death so any interested descendants can get a glimpse of what my life was like. I haven't written or expect to write anything sensational in these diary entries. I wish my ancestors had diary entries I could read. :) ;)

Thank you for providing the links again River Tyne Lass.
I did take part last year, and would like to do so again next month.

1. We don't have to register as such, just send it in?
2. How do we waive anonymity?

Sorry to be a pain!  ::)
