Mrs Basil was anxious again today about her lack of work coming in. The dog was a little annoyed this evening but at least it’s been a nice sunny day. The garden bin is finally empty. Hallelujah.

I slept in accidentally. Mrs Basil took the dog out before I woke up and I had the whole (what was left of it) of the morning to myself. It was excellent. Went to the local nursery to get a some plants and planted them along the back of the garden. I decided not to let the rain stop me.

Mrs Basil was in London all day for meetings. Another sunny day made dealing with the dog bearable. Went to the pub after the evening dog walk but it was pretty empty.

Made a little progress on the project of doom at work today, in my own brain at least. I also encouraged a team member to skive off and fake his timesheet and I’d cover for him. His dad has died and we were supposed to be pairing up on some work. Employer Inc. only gave him 4 days off and he’s not in a good place.

Had my appraisal today. Full marks and a promotion for a poultry 3.3% because “things are tight right now”. Classic. The small job the tester has been doing for the last 2 weeks he said he had to delete and start over. Real dog ate my homework stuff. Went to the pub after work and got takeaway chicken burgers.

Not much going on today. Slow and sluggish day at work today. Had to explain the same concept to the same person for the 5th time. Which is always fun. It was also pouring with rain for a change, so yet more muddy dog walks. Mrs Basil got a.very nice bit of work through the doors so is very pleased.
