SV: In my head, Ianto researched where they were going on a map and found the footpath, Tosh wantd to tell Jack but Ianto persuaded her not to because the exercise of climbing would do him good, Gwen's never climbed but might have tried, and Owen has no intention of trying ever because he's a doctor, not a mountain goat. Jack was just so intent on reaching the top that it never occurred to him there might be an easier way than going straight up!
Thank you!

Jack sat and watched, entranced, as Nosy taught Dizzy what to do with the wooden blocks in their play area. Using their mouths, they stacked the coloured shapes into all sorts of weird and imaginative towers and buildings, or laid the lettered ones out in rows, sometimes spelling out words, but in Dizzy's case, mostly gibberish. It hadn't learned to spell yet.
He soon noticed how often the tips of their tails came into play, nudging blocks into position or providing support.
"They're so clever," he told Ianto.
"I know. It's amazing what they can do without an opposable thumb!"
