Another manic and frustrating work day running tests. One annoying failure unfortunately. Tester annoyed me a lot at various points in the day. Had a Chinese takeaway for dinner.

A day of prepping a threadbare backlog for a “grooming session” tomorrow… I don’t know what I’m doing… It was a fairly tedious way to spend a day. I also had a meeting where I had to listen along and cringe while some folk had a sassy argument with eachother.

Some chores and minor DIY repairs of old DIY failures while Mrs Basil walked the dog in torrential rain. Mrs Basil watched a ManU v Leeds preseason friendly which was as dull as can be.

The crowdstrike global IT meltdown left us unscathed at work. Very hot today. An impromptu meetup at the pub with an ex colleague. Dog was fairly well behaved. Mrs Basil had a shoot day with Adidas so was home very late.

A friend took the dog out for 3 hours this morning. Was a welcome rest. After the usual Sunday food shop I spent the afternoon making a shopping list / recipe web app and cooking. A very food focused day.

Nightmare day. Took the dog for a walk before lunch and she sliced her leg open on something running around. Carried her, with great difficulty, to the vets before realising they were closed. Got the bus to the out of hours vets which cost me several hours and £400. Now begins the ongoing battle to stop her licking the wound. Oh, and she sat in chewing gum on the way home so has that stuck in her fur.
