Full English breakfast then off to the airport. Everything went smoothly. Arrived at the hotel in Dubrovnik and went for a walk around the bay. Meal in the hotel restaurant because we are both knackered. Hoping the rain forecast for tomorrow passes by overnight.

First day back after a long weekend. Absolutely chaotic morning catching up with things that I’d handed off that were promptly fumbled. Followed by lots of waiting around. A pleasantly sunny evening made for a long dog club meeting.

We walked to Dubrovnik old town and wandered around and had lunch. Went into a church and a museum and did our best to avoid game of thrones shite. A bus back to the hotel for a few hours (Mrs Basil worked, unsurprisingly) before back to the old town for the evening. The new Pope was announced just as we arrived and all the Catholic churches and the cathedral were ringing their bells.

Had a very lazy day at work. Finally, at long last,nice weather. My birthday present from Mrs Basil finally arrived, a great stainless steel chefs pan. A friend’s dog hurt their leg this evening (a sprain, I think) and screamed and cried, it was awful to hear.

Crazy early start. Picked up from our hotel at 06:20. Headed to Perast and Kotor in Montenegro which were amazing. Then we went to Budva, which was mediocre and added far too much driving time to the day. Arrived back absolutely destroyed. Dragged ourselves up the hill and I had Cevapi for the first time and it was good, finally some food I enjoyed on this trip.

The end of a 3 day week feels like cheating. I’m sure the shift will hit the fan in some way before Tuesday. Another lovely sunny day. Another large turnout at dog club. Mrs Basil finished her large shoot in Northumberland.
