The National Trust is encouraging people to record a diary of their day on a website, as part of what is being called “Britain’s biggest blog”. The blogs will then be stored by the British Library and at other locations.
There are more details HERE at the History Matters website.
So, here is my day….
A very ordinary one!…
Up at 4am to check emails
5.35 am Dropped Ann at the station to pick up the train to London.
8.45 Took the cats (Biscuit and Bon-Bon) to the groomers for their normal six-weekly ‘wash-and-brush up’. Last time was 22 July and we’ve probably left it a bit late this time as Bon-Bon’s coat has become quite notty…
9.30 Worked from home getting ready for the ‘Business Report Writing’ workshop tomorrow in Solihull. Also prepared my Trainer notes for the ‘Leadership’ Workshop running in a few weeks’ time in Daventry
2.00 Unusually, the cats weren’t ready for pick-up at 2, so I twiddled my fingers alittle in the afternoon
5.00 The cats are ready for pick-up! Yippee!!!
5.30 The cats look great – and smell great too! 🙂
6.30 Picked Ann up from the Station
Watched a bit of TV
Went to bed around 8.30. Feel like I’ve got a cold coming!

I got into blogging quite late in life, not publishing my first post until 2004 – well into my 40s! My lifelong love of technology and communication (in all its forms), together with a fondness for the art of writing seemed to be the perfect combination to contribute a few words to the online community. But I’m no Samuel Pepys! If you’re looking for deep and meaningful comments on a variety of subjects, then you’ve arrived at the wrong site! I only pen for pleasure! On average, my posts appear about twice per month, covering family & friends, cinema visits, eating out, holiday experiences and techy stuff. Oh, and as this is my hobby, there are no sponsored links nor adverts here – it’s all done with love!
I hope you find it enjoyable, interesting and occasionally, even helpful!
Hi Steve
I enjoyed reading your One Day in History post. You managed to
capture the essence of what the National Archives were trying to do with the History Matters campaign which is why I’d like to invite you to take a look at a new website called “Map My London” which has just been launched by The Museum of London: (www.mapmylondon.com).
Map My London hopes to revolutionise the way the history of the city is gathered and displayed. Even though you live in Kettering, it would be great if you could take a look at the site and see if you would be interested in getting involved with uploading your impressions and memories of the capital, to help us create an emotional memory bank.
You will be able to upload your experiences about the city onto the Map My London site under headings including “Love and Loss”, “Beauty and Horror” and “Fate and Coincidence”.
The site will support contributions in the form of text, digital photographs, video clips and sound recordings and the best thing is that you will be able to have a link directly to your own personal map to put onto your blog.
If this is something that you think that you’d like to get involved with, please visit http://www.mapmylondon.com. I’d love to hear your thoughts and feedback on the website.
Kind regards
Rax, Museum of London
