Just about got my work done by the deadline. Almost can’t believe it. Specs, Risk Assessments, 8 test scripts, all while dealing with an idiot colleague. Started transferring over to my pixel 8. Always a pain in the arse.

Shit hit the fan at work and I couldn’t fix it. Had call the lead developer in from his holiday, which sucked.

Did pretty much sod all today. Mrs Basil took the dog out early for a long, pre heatwave walk. We got a takeaway seafood boil for dinner from the fishmongers. It was good, but messy. Scout was very yappy and annoying all evening.

Start of a long weekend on the Northumberland coast. It was fairly pleasant weather, the rest of the weekend is going to be a washout. We are staying in an Airbnb which has pros and cons but it’s much less stressful for the dog I think. Stopped off at Whitley Bay on the drive up the road and had a sausage, egg, and hash brown bao bun. Divine.

Mrs Basil walked the dog while I did the weekly shop. Then spent some time gardening. I was on housecleaning duty during the evening walk.

Last night was really tough. Dog was very unsettled and woke us up roughly once an hour. Had to take her outside at 4am and 5am. So today we were all very tired. It rained all day but it was bearable until mid afternoon. So we got in a decent walk and pub lunch at least. Fingers crossed tonight’s sleep is undisturbed and tomorrow is rain free.
