Insane temperature swing today. Well into double figures. Didn’t get much sleep between stomach aches and the dog being very unsettled. She puked first thing this morning. Mrs Basil is on the late train home from London after wrapping her feature film shoot.

Back to work after a long weekend. Didn’t sleep well last night because Mrs Basil didn’t sleep well last night - lingering muscle pains. Scout had a checkup at the vet which went fine, she was far less terrified than previous visits according to Mrs Basil. After weighing in at 17kg I spent the rest of the day making fun of the Hekin’ Chonker.

Spent a chunk of time at work setting up obsidian, which was a bit naugty, but it was fun. Mrs Basil went to a cocktail bar for 5 hours and got about as drunk as I’ve ever seen her. Had to go and collect her.

Made a last moment decision to schlep off from work early to go for a a hair cut. Turns out it was 10 months since my last one. Fell in The Town Mouse for a pint on the way home. The bus journey back was pretty awful. Stuck in a traffic jam for an hour with a mass of teenagers and a drunk. Of course they ended up clashing with each other.

Mrs Basil spent the morning hungover and ordered a McDonald’s for lunch and watched football. My new watch (a Seiko Alpinist) arrived from eBay. I spent the afternoon faffing with my website while the dog wasn’t climbing on me and Mrs Basil went to The Glasshouse for a concert.

Early start at work to make up for leaving early yesterday. Mrs Basil was giving a lecture at the University, about having a career in the film industry, so I had the dog. On our early evening walk she dragged me down into the valley. When she dove into a hedge I knew it would be bad news, she emerged with a chicken drumsticks and proceeded to scoff it. Wonderful.
