Rain showers interspersed with sunshine from dawn until mid afternoon. Clare made breakfast pancakes before I surfaced from sleep. Neither of us ventured out in such uncertain weather. For lack of something to do, I started preparing next Wednesday's Morning Prayer and Reflection, and then we shared cooking lunch. I went for a walk in the parks after lunch, as the rain forecast amounted to little more than occasional light drizzle.
While I was out, Clare went out for a coffee with her friend Ruth. The house was quiet when I returned, so I recorded what I wrote earlier and edited it. Something useful achieved on a dull day without plans. After supper while I was cooking another variation of sopa de ajo, I listened to a laugh-out-loud podcast for movie buffs of Radio Four celebrating fifty years of shark themed scary and/or hilarious films featuring shark attack dramas. It was called 'Sharkiverse'. The original 'Jaws' remains the classic unmatched masterpiece of the genre, nothing else has been as successful, but the number of rip-off movies surprised me, plus the way phrases of dialogue from the original have inserted themselves into common discourse. Entertaining, also insightful.
Then I watched an episode of the German neo-nazi conspiracy crimmie called 'West Wall', or 'The New Front', which presents itself like a spy movies. There's only one word for it - intriguing. Then bed.
