Oh, yes, dear readers, today is #DallowayDay! And although celebrations took place last weekend, Virginia Woolf’s 1925 novel and her memorable character Clarissa Dalloway are being feted at celebrations around the world today, the official #DallowayDay, the third Wednesday in June.

If you can’t join a celebration in person, join in via Twitter. Just search #DallowayDay. And consider buying some flowers yourself.

Meanwhile, here are some notable tweets for the day.

On #DallowayDay we celebrate Virginia Woolf’s work. 90 years after A Room of One’s Own we’ve asked writers today what they need to work. As well as events throughout the day, we’re publishing new writing from RSL Fellows and launching our #ARoomofMyOwn #UKWritersSurvey report.1/4 pic.twitter.com/qS7hHOgLzL
