Mrs Basil took the dog out for a long walk while I cleaned the house and steamed the floor. Very exciting. Followed up with a restful lazy afternoon. Was a good day of results for Leeds. Might just have sealed promotion.

Mrs Basil had to work this afternoon but before that we went to the Free Trade for sandwiches. She took the dog with her to the office and I hung around at the pub for a bit, then went to the soft launch of the new Donzoko brewery/taproom in Ouseburn.

Mrs Basil’s parents arrived on Tyneside today. They came to our place for a few hours this evening and I cooked dinner. They’d had a very long day travelling so they didn’t stay long. The dog was a little bit of a pest, but not too bad.

Mrs Basil had to go into the office again today. So after the usual Sunday morning dog walk then collecting her from church, she headed off with the dog. I did some odd jobs, including the first grass cut of the year (always fun). This evening we went to the cinema to see civil war. It was good, but I had higher hopes.
