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.

Annoying day at work. Went out with Mrs Basil after work to walk the dog, who barked so much I started to get a headache. Went for a pint on the way home with another dog walker we bumped into.

Decent day at work did plenty of refactoring on the automated tests and feel a little better about them. Once again, it pissed it down all day, which made dealing with the dog even more of a delight than usual. Mrs Basil gets home from her work trip tomorrow.

Mrs Basil had to work today so I took the dog for a 3 hour hike in the morning so that the rest of the day would be a pleasant affair. It did not work, save for the frustratingly short time she was asleep, the dog was an unsettled annoying fucker. I’ve gone to bed annoyed and frustrated with an accompanying headache.

Friday off (sort of… Had to run a test for a few hours in the afternoon). Took Scout to the park at lunchtime, which was a mistake. It was the borough council school fun run, so the park was crawling with children. Mrs Basil returned from her Glasgow trip and it was nice enough to sit in the garden for a while this evening.
