Spent the day trying to rest and recover. Don’t think I feel as bad as yesterday. Possibly due to a good nights sleep and a day of rest. Mrs Basil did all the heavy lifting today. Walking the dog, making dinner. I hope she’s not overdoing it during her recovery, but she insists she’s fine.

Had the day off but had the dog. Did a big walk to the pub via the pet shop and the park. The dog has only just settled and has been awake for about 12 hours. She’s going to be comatose tomorrow.

Another day of rest. Only thing that happened was the mother stopped by and I opened my birthday present from her, a Japanese knife. It’s very nice, here’s hoping I can take care of it.

A day out drinking in Newcastle with my old mates from my hometown. Started at a new arcade bar which would have been fine… if it didn’t stink of sewage. Went to a few of the usual places and, after seven hours or so, they all piled onto the train home and I went for some gyros.

I’m very bunged up but otherwise feeling much better. Dog walker came to meet Scout, all went fine. Opened my birthday present from Mrs Basil. A bird feeder / ip camera. Managed to get it set up, hopefully will get some footage while on holiday.

A quiet Sunday. Dog walking and Reading. Finished the first Murderbot book. Fairly enjoyable… Not sure how good it is but got the 2nd one and will see if it holds my interest. Started ‘I Who Have Never Known Men’ and it’s very good so far. I have mixed feelings about my new ereader so far. Might be an excuse for a blog post.
