    Miserable day of drizzle. I walked the dog at lunchtime but she really wasn’t into it at all. Mrs Basil is still unwell and I convinced her to have an afternoon nap after she’d spent over an hour on a video call trying to walk her parents through buying train tickets.

    Night out in Ouseburn with old work mates from Previous Employer Inc. Feel like I was looking forward to it so much it couldn’t have lived up to the hype. Anyway, it was a pleasant evening after a tough week.

    Mrs Basil still unwell. I walked the dog in the park for 2 hours. Then walked to the supermarket and got picked up when I was done. Legs were killing me after 4 hours on my feet. Had a very lazy evening watching TV. Made a poorly executed carbonara for dinner.

    Long dog walk in the park this morning / lunchtime while Mrs Basil was out filming for work. Absolutely knackered. Spent the rest of the day fighting to stay awake. I should have just had a nap.

    Spoke to my manager about my upcoming job change. I’m not going to be doing any lime management, which is a bit of a relief. I’ll be responsible for the department priorities / allocation type stuff. Had to come up with my own job title today which is a bit strange. I’m coming down with Mrs Basil’s cold.

    Fairly productive day by recent standards. Walked the dog, met Mrs Basil after church, got lunch, went to homebase, dismantled temporary fence, put in new fence post (which took hours), fixed greenhouse, made a roast dinner. This week is going to be painful. Lead developer is off and I have the dog every day.
