Spent all day wrangling a front end bug at work that had been elusive for months. Was very draining but at least progress was made. Tinkered with my blog CSS this evening while Mrs Basil watched a depressing documentary about Palestinian evictions.

The usual Sunday morning dog walk followed by a munch needed rest. I had a plan to transplant some wild garlic into the garden from the woods down the street. But after a dozen or so failed foraging attempts, I called it quits. I did almost nothing productive this weekend.

Reproduced, investigated, figured out, and fixed a front end bug that had stumped everyone including the lead Dev for the best part of 4 months. A good moment. I had the dog today so I spent almost 3 hours stood in the biting wind.

Monday with the dog while Mrs Basil was at a networking event. Lunchtime walk in the park in mercifully sunny weather followed by a much colder evening walk. Work was dull and uneventful, which I suppose I will take. Mrs Basil is making lasagne. Found out a friend is getting engaged, which is nice, and they are moving away, which is a shame.

Another fairly exhausting day and my last dog free day for a while so I went to the pub right after work for a few pints. Mrs Basil had a day of submitting things to the bfi for her Palestinian film.

Found out that the CTO at Employer Inc. is leaving. Yet more executive churn. I don’t like the guy but am nervous about the implications for our department and our team. My kingdom for some stability. Better the devil you know, and all that.
