Another day where I felt like nothing got done. More meetings were added to the calendar though. Another sunny day but still weirdly chilly. Such a waste of good weather. Dog played a lot of fetch and is knackered.

Mrs Basil returned from France this evening much to unbridled glee of the dog. She brought plenty of snacks, the primary ingredient of which definitely seems to be butter. Looking forward to a dog free day tomorrow. Need to crack on with work this week.

A friend took the dog out all morning as a bit of a trial for when we’re on holiday next month and all went well. The CTO at work left today with no notice. Meaning we’ll soon have the 5th CTO since I started less than 3 years ago. It’s exhausting.

It wasn’t just wet today. It was sudden. Localised flooding all over the area. Pipe and drains spewing water. The Tyne burst it’s banks but theere were extra barriers in placed. I’m so tired of the rain and the mud. On the plus side, I didn’t have the dog.

Sleepless night with a headache. Finished work at 13:00 and went across the river to have a few pints then walked home. Met Mrs Basil and the dog in the park before getting takeaway chicken burgers.

Another very frustrating day at work. People being very inflexible. Something must be done a certain way because that’s the way they’ve always done it, anything else is “bad practice”. Spent the last few hours of my evening pondering getting a kobo libra colour. Can a hybrid ebook/dead tree way of life work?
