Lovely day out there again, but a bit windy. I’m on call but I thought I’d do 30 or 40. The wind was blowing roughly from the south, so I thought I’d head down the southbound route for a bit then see where my mood took me. I did that as far as Kirkby Mallory, then took the road to Sutton Cheney from there. From Sutton I did what amounted to a Reverse Twycross Bypasser.
I was a bit too warm later on. Should have taken a backpack to stuff layers of clothing into.
Listened to 6 Music until Cerys played a tune all about how white people had made everyone’s lives worse which of course annoyed me, but that turned out to be quite fortuitous because I retuned to Jazz FM and Tony Minvielle’s show – and he played some really good stuff, including a banging Minnie Riperton tune I hadn’t heard before. Why it’s still called Jazz FM though I’m not sure. Perhaps it’s considered catchier than Jazz DAB or Smart Speaker.
Then I made a couple of hours’ progress on the Reacher audiobook. Interesting twist in the plot, about half-way through. Then Villa vs United on 5 Live.
Spotted a pair of discarded knickers along Fenn Lanes, haven’t seen that for quite a while. Black and lacy. Half buried in the roadside earth so they must have been there for quite some time.
So nice to have this sort of weather on a Sunday afternoon. Back on 40.24 miles, that’s 135 this month.
