A challenge for my readers in Britain ...

The National Trust is asking ordinary people in Britain to write an account of your day today (17th October) and upload it to the History Matters project.

The aim is to create "a detailed account of people's normal lives when they're doing nothing out of the ordinary; what they did when they got up, what they ate, how they got to work, what they did at work. It's those mundane details, those boring details that will seem extraordinary to people hundreds of years in the future."

So come on, we're all good at waffling about nothing (well, I am!) so jot a few words down about your day and pop on over to History Matters.
