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.

Miserable weather today. Spent as little of it as I could get away with outside with the dog. Mrs Basil had some bad news about some potential funding so she’s a little down.

Had a meeting with the outgoing CTO where he assured us thing’s he couldn’t possibly, like the direction his as yet unknown successor will want to take the department. Spent my day between documents and coding some ungodly report. Cancelled Spotify to try Tidal for a while, will see how that goes.

Freakishly good weather today. Took scout out for 6 hours. 4 in the park; 2 in the beer garden. Mrs Basil had to do some filming this afternoon, then did a 5k jog. We were all pretty knackered this evening.

An uneventful Friday. Went to work, walked the dog, made dinner, watched Leeds United. Mrs Basil accidentally washed the dog’s comfort toy that we got her when she was a few weeks old. Think the dog is freaked out that it smells clean.
