More holiday inaction for a Friday. A morning at home; pottering and speaking to Paw; before heading off to see Her via some Cigs spotting at Portobello.

I took the hound around the Meadows as She went for a sun bed and lethargy was resumed for the remainder of the afternoon. 

Jambalaya and another dog walk in the evening sunshine before I spent a quiet half hour making o% sloe gin in the sunshine of the kitchen, dog at my feet, snoozing / hoping for some morsel to drop from above - he's not had a sloe yet so doesn't know they will not be bounty!

I feel ready to tackle some Cairngorms tomorrow.
