I notice that tomorrow morning at 9 am on Radio 4 Melvyn Bragg has an In our time on the covenanters. Should be interesting. The "experts" are Roger Mason, Laura Stewart and Scott Spurlock.

Bragg The Rapture
I'm a little behind at present with some things. Melvyn Bragg's In our time is up and runing again on Radio 4 and at the end of last month they had a programme on The Rapture with Crawford Gribben and two other academics. You can currently access it here. The programme was very informative, although there is one thing I must chase up that I read in Arnold Dallimore's biography of Edward Irving - that the idea of a secret rapture began with a young girl in Scotland, a disicple of Irving, who began to have ecstatic visions. It was only a45 minute programme.
Day off week 48
Rather a lazy day in some respects. I started off by wearing the t-shirt and jeans, which seems to help. I then took Alffi for a long walk to Highgate and got the bus back. My walking target was soon met. I listened to a recent In our time on Mari Antoinette, which I enjoyed. I like to take the fortnightly Private Eye but never seem to see it on a Tuesday. I managed it this time, however, and so hopefully that can be a pattern on alternate Tuesdays in future (although that reads Dec11 then 25!). I also read 10 chapters of a nice children's book I picked up in a charity shop yesterday. It is Carlo Collodi's Pinocchio (well translated some years ago by Emma Rose). I also read a bit more of my Christmas novel. I wanted to do other things but rather petered out in the afternoon. In the evening we had a visit from my father-in-law and Barbara and after they had gone we watched the first episode of the new drama Mrs Wilson.
