Finished it off tonight

Son asked to watch Threads, the 1984 drama about a nuclear war focussing on Sheffield. I'm not the better for it after 2 hours of traumatising, breath-stopping tv.  It holds up really well in the main despite being 40 years old. I don't think it affected me as much as a 17 year old (when nuclear war was considered a real possibility) as it did today

The forecast was for showers but I really want to get to 400 miles this month if I can, so I decided to put up with it and do 30-odd miles after work. The wind was coming from the east so I headed over that way. Thought I'd probably do Rempstone or Wymeswold and back. After Zouch though I had the idea of taking a left off the main route, to try to loop back round to Sutton Bonington.

I did this a few weeks ago but this time I took the left a bit later (through East Leake rather than West Leake). Followed a sign to Gotham, after a while I didn't have a good feel for where I was so I cheated and had a look at Google Maps. This suggested a nice easy way to Sutton Bonington through New Kingston and Kingston on Soar. So I did that.

Good to explore new roads. Quite liked the stretch between Gotham and Kingston. I'll make a note to go that way again.

Came back the longer way through Peggs Green and Coleorton. Listened to another couple of hours of the Reacher novel. Best one for quite a while. Familiar plot ideas, but nicely put together. I didn't get rained on at all.

Back on 34.85 miles and that's 379 this month, coincidentally the precise target for April. But I'd still like to end up with more than 400. At the moment Monday looks like a nice day and I've booked the day off work.

Weather hasn't been as bad as I thought it would be, so have been out the last couple of days. Not done much, but it's something in the bag.

Yesterday just 21 miles, didn't want to stray too far from home as for once I'd hung out the washing for Mrs S. It kept threatening rain, but none really came. It did once I got home and I didn't notice, ho-hum...

Today just did 24 miles, but tried putting some effort in. Garmin said the tanks were empty after 18 miles, so I made it back on fumes. Up to 561 miles for April now.

That was fast... Our coach is leaving and joining Liverpool to succeed Klopp.

Working form home today I wanted to relieve tension a bit and sought out YT for something nice. I fell into a livestream (not really, more like a premiere) of Brann Dailor from Mastodon fame (metaldrummer extraordinaire) playing and talking about his trade for an hour. I really enjoyed that but also noticed how rigid he is in his movements. I am used to playing very fluent myself and many drummers I see have that fluent feel, but checking out several metaldrummers on Drumeo I thought many of them look like they can clamp up at any time. How curious, these are my teenage heroes whom I looked up to and measure myself against.

Anyway, just to put Drumeo in the spotlight then, a great channel for a great website featuring only drummers.
