Those knights have been quaffing ale at the inn again, and are now so drunk they don't know upside-down from right-side-up! They know those grey lines are thermometers, but they can't remember which way round they go. Can you help?
Normal sudoku rules apply.
Cells a (chess) knight's move apart cannot contain the same digit.
Digits in cages cannot repeat, and must sum to the clue in the top left corner, if given.
The grey lines are thermometers where digits must increase from the bulb end. It is up to you to deduce which end is which!
Have fun, leave a comment if you enjoy the puzzle!
Solution code: Row 5 followed by Column 5

Cool puzzle. Very much the irregular anti-knight. The thermo constraint a fun twist.

Amazing puzzle as usual Blobz. I'm wondering: what do the three blue stars for difficulty indicate as compared to three red stars? Is there some distinction?
-- blue stars indicate the puzzle author's estimate of difficulty; red stars indicate the average difficulty as rated by puzzle solvers
