It feels to be a lot warmer this morning which may be due to a change in the wind direction meaning there's no cooling breeze coming in off the North Sea.

Don't tell @tyred that there isn't normally a castle either...

I didn't!

Successfully checked in now with bike and with my wallet a tenner lighter. I thought they might have waived the fee considering the confusion was caused by their own booking system not working properly and their customer service people not answering their phones.

I was tempted to proceed as foot passenger with hand luggage but knowing my luck, they'd have an excess baggage fee and I'd be back to square one.

I used to have inserts in my trainers and boots that contained Yorkshire soil. That way I was always walking on Yorkshire soil.
Ended with the Foot and Mouth outbreak in 2001.

My ex had a couple of friends come to visit ( Their 1st time in Leicester) and they went on about 'The Castle', stumped us for a bit until we worked out they meant Welford Rd. Prison.

I'm sure I'm bringing soil samples home under my mudguards.

Off out with Charlie mostly have to drive him to the park he's not up to walking much today. He been sat at the gate so that normally means he wants his afternoon walk. Be it a bit off a short one but is happy to go round the park for a bit.

My wife found a Squirrel leg in the garden!

Shouldn't it be attached to a Squirrel?

That puzzle where you are in a prison and confronted by 2 doors . One to freedom , the other to death . Both are guarded by guards , one who always tells the truth the other lies. You can only ask one question.
What if the guards were politicians?

It would be an interesting social experiment to see how many Farcebook or Instygram posts about "Leicester Castle" it would take, before American tour groups started turning up.

Ailsa Craig is shrouded in mist. Better leave a bad review on Tripadvisor. Views not what was expected!
