Mrs Basil in London today at BBC. She was told her radio show last year was a ratings hit. I walked the dog for almost 3 hours total so I could abandon her and go to the pub and get a burger.

A much more relaxed day today, thankfully. I even finished work slightly early. Wrote a blog this evening for the February Indieweb carnival “Digital Relationships”. I used it as an excuse to reminisce about Identica and then realised how unfinished my site still is. Now I’m starring at a watch on eBay that I shouldn’t buy.

Long stint in the field with the dog after work. Mrs Basil had a comp ticket for the theatre so had a few hours to myself. New watch strap arrived for my Alpinist, the one it came with is crazy uncomfortable.

A day with the dog, since Mrs Basil had some filming to do this afternoon. Decided to finish work at half 4 and take Scout out early to get her plenty of exercise before it got dark. Mostly in the hope she’d settle down early in the evening, it did not work. Mrs Basil watched Man Utd limp through the FA cup.

Fake day, what can I say

The watch that had been tempting me on eBay sold overnight, which was fortunate because I was really starting to waiver. A colleague at work informed us his dad has been diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. Reminded me of a conversation I saw recently where the response to “what’s the worst thing about being an adult” was “seeing your parents get old”.
