Lie in follow by a long dog walk in the rain since Mrs Basil had to go to Stockton for a work meeting. The new TV streaming setup is working out much better but should get a better test tomorrow. Still some fireworks going off and scaring Scout. She was so tired from the daytime walk thankfully she didn’t need to go out again in the evening.

A few hiccups with the TV streaming today but not too bad. I finally posted a blog post that had been sat in my drafts since April 2020 which is nice. Used the oven function on the new microwave properly for the first time…. It did not work. Seems like it gets nowhere near the stated temperature. I’m not a rocket doctor, but I think 1 hour at 210°C should be enough to cook carrots.

Another day where I had to babysit a colleague that seems unwilling to work unattended. Started watching Homicide Life on the streets, it’s good but very funny to watch something so dated. We’ve agreed to look after our friends dog Teemo for a week in January.
