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.

Spent all day on just one of the umpteen things I need to get done this week. /Shrug… The dog still seems ever so slightly out of sorts. Mrs Basil had a long day 07:30 to 20:30.

Bit if a strange day. Just tired and recovering from yesterday’s travelling. Family walk to Blaydon that was wetter than anticipated. Then veged out for the rest of the day trying not to worry about going back to work.

Another wasted work day. Mrs Basil has a headache and might be coming down with something again. I have ordered a lock picking kit and went out and bought a padlock at lunchtime. Gonna see if it’s an interesting hobby.

Bit of a rough day back at work. Both big projects I’m involved in had rather awkward setbacks in some part due to our team. Finally got our overtime put back into our time off… So have another week of holiday to book in at some point.
