The reality check after hitting a deadline — The last little bit that was left to do is going to drag on for days. Also discovered a bunch of mistakes I made. Annoyed with myself. A few people getting very frustrated with a system I’ve been lumbered with supporting, which isn’t great.

A more settled but still interrupted night, and unfortunately another washout of a day. We packed up and headed to the beach on the way home. Dog drank too much sea water as she often does and was sick. Mrs Basil’s weekend long migraine shows no sign of abating. And England were soundly beaten in the Euros final by a superior Spanish team.

More hurry up and wait frustration at work. Deadline looking increasingly fanciful. Mrs Basil having a full blown panic about business cashflow. Some scary decisions lie ahead — it’s going to be a hard year.

First of my planned post holiday recovery days that I always need… Didn’t really go to plan. Had to do an hour of work then went into the city with Mrs Basil for lunch. The dog was a pain all afternoon so spent almost the whole day on my feet. And my legs are killing me and I’m utterly trashed. I’m gonna have the dog all week so it’s gonna be fun.

Mrs Basil had another rough day wrestling with business cashflow. She was at the theatre this evening so I walked the dog then took myself to the pub. It was the baking club in the function room so ended up having 3 slices of cake for dinner.

A good day. The dog was super sleepy all morning so I got to relax. Then walked her down the valley, got the bus to the river, and walked along to the free trade inn. Bumped into a few friends through the day. Didn’t quite make it home before the rains arrived so Mrs Basil rescued us on her way home from work.
