    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.

    Started work to a message about a problem. Spent the whole sodding day working on it. Literally. Got nothing else done. Had the dog today and Mrs Basil had an evening event in Newcastle so I took the dog to the Free Trade Inn while we waited for her to be done.

    Mrs Basil left for Glasgow this morning. Pouring with rain all day. Literally none stop. Had to drag the dog out for a piss at lunchtime. Dragged her out for her evening walk and as usual, as soon as she gets to a wet field, she doesn’t want to leave. Took her to the pub to dry off before heading home.
