    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.

    Fairly normal Sunday. A continuation of the grey dreary weather. I messed with my website a little more. Feels like the weekend lasted 5 minutes.

    Mrs Basil had some potentially big news with a project she’s been developing for a few years. Could be a real career milestone, so fingers crossed nothing goes pear shaped. A much more typical day at work for me. The document I wanted to spend all day working on, I didn’t start on it until 3pm. Monday is gonna be a real slog, but fuck it, it’s the weekend.
