Warm; sunny; 22C.
My cousin's wife passed away yesterday. She'd been fighting cancer for many years. I'm very sorry for his loss.
Walked 2¼ miles today via Weoley Castle:
The ruins at Weoley Castle are over 700 years old and are the remains of
the moated medieval manor house that once stood here. The site has been
inhabited from the 12th century and, according to the Domesday Book,
was part of the estates of William Fitz Ansculf. Weoley changed hands
several times between 1485 and 1531 when it began to fall into
disrepair. In the centuries that followed, stone from the castle was
removed to build a nearby farm and the Dudley no.2 canal. Today the site
is a scheduled Ancient Monument of national importance (taken from the website). I feel really fortunate to have a site like this on my doorstep (and in the middle of the 2nd-largest city in the UK).
It's felt like a really busy day, so dinner was simple.
We ate:
Seafood risotto.
