Hi Everyone,
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">Given the extensive research that disproves an exact date, I vote to privilege the day over the date. The month and the weekday are in the novel but not, tellingly, the date. There is something of the ‘on or about’ nature of this omission which
would be lovely to honor in our own party planning. Returning just now to the place in Anne’s edition where Wednesday is named, Woolf (as she often does) reminds us that all temporalities have a terminus, and so our efforts to fix time on a calendar are
both necessary and contingent: “…all those hurrying along the pavement this Wednesday morning are but bones with a few wedding rings mixed up in their dust and the gold stopping of innumerable decayed teeth.” (15)</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">But party we must! Maybe the third Wednesday of every June (if only because 1923 brings 23 before our eyes which just happens to combine 3 numbers from the 13th and the 20th — the days on which the two mid-June Wednesdays fell in 1923 — and that
dangling 9 is divisible — of course — by 3. But that’s as far as I’ll go with the math here, chary of Woolf’s own “innumerable” caution above).</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">Happy Wednesday all!</div>
<div class="">Best wishes,</div>
<div class="">Alice</div>

Having talked to a few people, it seems that there is interest in creating a Dallowday to be celebrated each year as people see fit on a particular day in June. I think there was a consensus last year that the day on which Mrs D is set was Wed 20 June 1923.
So am I right in assuming that most of us would consider the date more important than the day of the week? This year, of course, they are one and the same, which won't happen again until 2029. </div>

Another question I've been asked is whether it should be Dallowday or Dalloway Day, so may I also throw that out for discussion? It seems to me that the former is neater and less cumbersome.</div>
