Back to more seasonally appropriate weather. Cold and Fog. Mrs Basil’s friend stayed the night so I had to spend half an hour reconstructing my office before work. Not that I did much work today. The plug on one of my monitors has broken so my setup is a bit awkward.

Walked the dog down into the valley this morning in the pouring rain. Bribing her with the promise of a visit to the pet shop once there. Mrs Basil drove and met us there as she’s under the weather. The pet shop was making a big thing about mother’s day, giving out gifts taking pics in a makeshift photo booth. All rather silly, but Mrs Basil enjoyed it, and what’s life without whimsy?

Another dull day. Had a meeting with my boss where he asked if I’d be open to a promotion in which I manage the team project priorities and workload and potential line management. I told him, tentatively, yes. I may regret it.

A day “off” work. I went to Mrs Basil’s office to help do some DIY jobs, like dismantling and rebuilding some shelving that was looking a little wobbly. All of which scared the heck out of the dog. Fell into the Aldi middle aisle on the way home. Back to the bullshit tomorrow.

Snow this morning. Not heavy, but huge flakes. Dog walk in the rain after work. Dropped her back off home and went to the pub for a bit.

Mrs Basil was in Edinburgh kicking off a project with the BBC so I was dog dadding today. I decided to do reduced hours so had a fairly easy day. The levels of rain and mud are really starting to get on my nerves. Makes every dog walk such a pain.
