Good luck tomorrow for @DCLane son #2

I hope I can squeeze in a in between all of tomorrow’s commitments. I ended up using today’s bike time to go though a whole raft of password related admin. I’ve tipped over from wanting to ride to needing to ride.

Rooting for you xxx

As it's a cellar apartment, does that mean I'll get a root cellar?

I'm going to bed...

One of the downsides of using Booking.com is the six billion emails asking me to leave feedback on the places I've stayed.

It seems to me that most places are like that.

Hope not...

It's summer solstice and quite an impressive sunset on Ayr Harbour

That is one banging photo @tyred

Thanks. I happened to be at the right place at the right time.

Thanks. I happened to be at the right place at the right time.

As is often the case with photography.

Although there is nothing worse than being in the right place at the right time, but looking the wrong way. And being caught doing it by the TV cameras...

Last night in Ayr and time to hit the hay I think.

I am happy with it though. Best photo of the trip and makes up for not being able to get time to compose a proper photo of the Waverly at the pier in either Largs or Ardrishaig as we were effectively chased from the peirs as quickly as possible.

Apparently, an asteroid the size of ten Killer Whales is going to pass close to the Earth this week.

I'm wondering how many Killer Whales do you get to a London Bus?

Depends on how you measure them.

• A Killer Whale is 0.527 times the length of a London Bus
  
  A Killer Whale weighs 0.315 times as much as a London Bus
  
  A Killer Whale travels 0.429 times the speed of a London Bus

Lots to think about, there.

I remember them showing a whale in a train car, I think he was stuffed or such. Back in the Day, Aunts may have seen it. Or my dad.

I'm disappointed that the site doesn't allow comparisons between killer whales and the imperial standard country the size of Wales.

I've always wondered how we would manage for comparisons, if football had never been invented.


"Each day, an area of rainforest the size of 1,000 tennis courts......"

Well, for a start

A UK Football Pitch is 1260 times the length of a Credit Card.

A UK Football Pitch is 1,402 times the height of a Credit Card.

Meaning it would take 1,766,520 credit cards to cover a UK sized football pitch.
