Clare went to her study group after breakfast. An email arrived from Ruth with the Morning Prayer texts for the next two weeks, so I downloaded them, prepared them for recording, and then wrote one of the biblical reflections to accompany them before cooking lunch.
I listened to the second episode of The Banksy Story on Radio Four after we'd eaten. It was announced that the ten episode series was also available as a podcast on BBC Sounds. I listened to episode one, then continued with episodes three to ten through the rest of the afternoon finishing just before supper, at home and out walking, all on my phone. It was interesting, insightful and laced with humour. The secretive artist has mounted a savagely prophetic critique of capitalism and the high value art commodity business. In the most original and quirky way he has changing the way art itself is understood in the contemporary world. His personal story is hidden away behind his creative output and its messages, but it's a story which is not yet over, and nobody knows what is coming next from him.
In the evening I continued watching episodes of German crimmie 'The Marnow Murders', which I started on last night. It seems to have elements of the spy movie about it, because of the presence of former Stasi agents living in re-unified Germany, but the plot is still unfolding with lots of twists and turns.
