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.

The first day of pleasant weather for 2025. Spent lunchtime in the garden with the dog. Then finished work really early and took the dog out at 15:45 for two and half hours. She’s knackered. She met lots of puppies who were desperate to play with her but she was her usual aloof self.

One of those annoying work days where you spend most of the time on phone calls and almost no time doing any actual work. Not much happened today. Finished work, made burgers for dinner, watched a few episodes of The Expanse.
