RTL, I was thinking along the lines of .....

I work in the care industry, and the hours of the long shift really flew by as the Team on duty included a favourite colleague whose sunny nature makes it a pleasure to work with her.....

Well, I think something like that sounds positive and cheery and would meet the 'oblique' standard for not saying anything too revealing. ;)
I'm afraid in reality I don't feel quite that breezy.  In fact I feel absolutely jiggered and my feet are aching.  Can't wait to crash into bed tonight when I get in.  I am just setting off for home.
Just realised that I wrote this morning of our 'ancestors' possibly one day reading our entries but obviously meant to say 'descendants.'
Weather seems to have been quite fair today.  Hopefully, it will nice again tomorrow so you can walk at the coast again Mowsehowse. :)

  BBC radio seems to have taken this on, and are asking for diaries. I wonder whether they will be adding the cautions about identifying people and the legal declaration? Or will these be used in a different way? One I heard this morning included some children's names.

Yes, I heard that on the "Today" programme, and was quite surprised.
Sent mine off, but heard somewhere "they" are really looking for males from teens to mid 40s - I suppose they are under represented in existing contributors.

Yes, you have heard this before Threllfallyorky, but this is not true as far as the 12th May One Day diaries are concerned.
This misconception arose after I first posted about Mass Observation and one RootsChatter inadvertentally applied to be a long term Mass Observation writer which is an entirely different thing.

See link below which shows how the mix up first started - page 7, post 54 - 58.

Fantastic Caroline.
If I had such exciting other tasks I would still be writing as well. :)
