Day 94: Sevilla (Rest Day)

The day time was spent creating new cycling routes for riding post Sevilla; many to replace those which I'd created prior to my arrival in the city. Weather forecasts of the inclement kind was the catalyst for the change in where to cycle. I had planned to bead north, instead I'm going east where the forecasts are looking better, but not perfect.

Later, a walk into the city led me to my favourite ice cream shop (Créema). Ice cream purchased and consumed.

Whilst eating the ice cream, just as I was in the process of spoon refilling, a "tree nut" smashed into the spoon. I at first thought that someone had thrown it at me! However, on reflection, it was clear that the "nut" had fallen from the tree (similar to that shown in the photograph) and accelerated downward at a rate of 9.8 m/s2. The improbable aspect of this happening is the fact that the "nut" hit the spoon at the precise moment the spoon was in mid-trajectory from my mouth to the ice cream tub! What's the probability of that? Here is a photograph of the "nut" and spoon:

Even later, I went to the bar "Merchant" to watch Nottingham Forest vs Manchester United: United lost 0 - 1. Fortunately, the Guinness was good!

On my return walk to the van I noticed this piece of graffiti:

Miedito, translates to: Little fear; however
Mierdito, translates to: Little shit!
The question is: was a spelling mistake made?
