0515; boys appeared. Joy....

We managed to slowly negotiate the morning until we were out on a 1045 47 to play date with G; we eventually wandered out to Gambado via Cigs spotting along the way. Impressive spotting by the guys...!

Two hours of soft play; another plan for Orkney; seems to broad agreement from all sides now, so think we need to do it.

Then another wander back, and in for dinner; fajitas followed by G making pancakes.

Bus home, boys delighted, fed, tired and dropped them 1830, ready to drop!

Came home, packed for mountaineering tomorrow and then out again for supper - goat's cheese tartlets with sun dried tomatoes and spring onions; used left over mozzarella / beetroot / carrot as the accompaniment; worked really well, especially the spring onions.

And asleep but needing to be out tomorrow - hardly early, more sharp, so cycled home in the wee small hours; smiling.
