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”.

Walked the dog for 3 hours at lunch. Partly because Mrs Basil wanted to steam clean the house, partly because we had plans this evening and needed the dog to be tired. This evening we went out for a drink and a meal in Ouseburn. My food was a let down but it was a nice evening.

Work got a bit awkward today. The useless bloke on the team got a bit salty with another dev’s code review. This did not go down well and led to an uncomfortable exchange, what fun. Torrential rain since mid afternoon made for an extremely soggy dog walk.
