After not nearly enough sleep, Thursday was not high tempo. Not for anyone.

Alex spent most of the day playing games; Tom eventually took himself off to work, and in between more noodling, reading and cooking, there was the inevitable dog walk. 

A 16 to Silverknowes, a trolley find and then a more expansive walk back thru' the hinterland at Lauriston Castle and onto the waterfront and back east via the sand and shoreline with occasional bursts of grassland to mix up the habitats for the hound.

There may also have been TdF watching in between dozing.
