An early start. As I'd abandoned the bike at Hers the previous evening and had availed myself of Lothian Buses, it was onto a 0619 47 to Hers and start the working day there.

Lots of dog walks interspersed with the occasional bout of work (or was it the other way round...?) 

A longer lunchtime dander at lunchtime in the cold but sunny weather, before an afternoon of more of the same.

With Alex at school camp, and Tom under the weather (still sniffling, coughing, but testing negative for CV) he decided to stay put and so I tarried a while at Hers, dining there before heading homewards with a pale orange line across the far horizon.
