I let the dog sleep upstairs last night. It was a mistake, she didn’t settle and we were both knackered this morning. Ended up sleeping for 2 more hours on the sofa. Almost 2 hours in the field at lunch time was enough. I finished my book. Mrs Basil didn’t have much fun today, went to a BBQ where she felt a bit out of place.

Took the dog on a huge walk at lunchtime. Out past the angel of the north and up to the top of the fell. Three and a half hours. Meant we could stay in for the rest of the day. It might backfire on me tomorrow. Mrs Basil is getting homesick.

Lazy day. Short dog walks today, don’t want to wear out the dogs joints completely. The leftovers I had for dinner are playing havoc with my stomach. Pushed my luck too far with the chicken. Maria arrived in Mexico City.
