After collecting Mrs Basil from church with the dog we all went to meet a few friends for a dog’s birthday party. The dogs faffed about with balls in the stream for about 2 hours and loved it. This evening we watched Newcastle with the EFL Cup. The natives are delighted.

Gloriously sunny morning. All too brief respite from the gloom and mud. A pleasant walk and lunch from the fishmongers. Went to pickup a new record. Kissing Distance by The Six Parts Seven and Goodmorning Valentine. It’s only March, but high chance it will be my album of the year.

Mrs Basil is coming down with a cold. I spent the day fighting with my visual studio environment. Code for a task took about 90 minutes. The rest of the day was fighting the environment.

The sunny weekend we were “promised” turned into just another mud bath. Another Sunday where I did nothing. Walked the dog. Met Mrs Basil after church. Watched football, walked the dog again…. Started reading Revenge by Yoko Ogawa, not sure what to make of it yet.

Very cold day. Dull and slow workday. Mrs Basil came home and tagged me in with the dog. So I froze in the field for an hour. I accidentally let my Syncler subscription expire so had to quickly buy a new one this evening.

Work started easy today then escalated. I seem to have become the lightning rod for discontent regarding a particular system, despite having no involvement in creating or choosing said system. Quite frustrating. Another day with the dog, so thankfully the sun was out.
