Mrs Basil’s aunt died today after spending the last month or so in recovery from a stroke. First day back at work. A million emails waiting for me. Was hard to know what to prioritise. Dog was unsettled all night.

Mrs Basil overslept and missed church. I walked the dog and she took a big scalp of skin off her leg playing with Otto the Vizla. Put some Chilli in the slow cooker before heading out to meet old work mates for a few pints.

This morning had the awkward thing where I sit around trying to work while there’s tradesmen in my house. Thankfully the boiler replacement was done my lunchtime. Hot showers are excellent. So are thermostats. The dog was really unsettled again this evening.

Another delightful Monday off work. Planted the Willow weave that Mrs Basil had got for our 9 year anniversary. Mrs Basil needed some new weekend/cabin luggage so I headed off to town to get some. The sun came out so I fell into the pub on the way home and met Mrs Basil and Scout at the bus station and we walked home through the park.

Got almost all my most important tasks done today… But still struggling to catch up. Another nice sunny day, made the most of it by going to the pub after workand hung out with some of the locals. I have the dog tomorrow.

A fairly innocuous day back at work, a few annoying meetings, a bit of progress here and there. I walked Scout when she got home, since Mrs Basil had to pack for her trip to Glasgow tomorrow.
