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.

Dog still weird and unsettled this morning. Mrs Basil took her on a group walk with some friends in the afternoon while I went to chill out in the pub. The walk seems to have done the trick.

Ok day as far as the weather goes. A couple of dog walks and a trip to the supermarket. Mrs Basil was happy because Man It’s beat Man City in the FA cup final. Early start tomorrow. 7am train to London for a family reunion. What I would give to wake up and it be Monday.

Fairly productive day. Did the food shop, mowed the grass in anticipation of the impending days of rain, swapped out the kitchen tap in an attempt to solve the flow rate issue. Turns out there was some debris in the pipe causing the issue, but I wanted a new tap anyway.

Today we went to Highgate for the afternoon. Just a 7 hour round trip for a 6 hour event. A family reunion for Mrs Basil. It all went ok thankfully and Mrs Basil got to meet some cousins, aunts, and uncles from the US. We were sharing the train with some hopeful, then disappointed Leeds fans attending the playoff final.
