Friday off work for a short birthday break for Mrs Basil. Ditched the dog, headed up the coast to a fancy hotel. A few hours in a spa, massage for Mrs Basil. Afternoon tea and a fancy meal in the evening. Of course she had to attend some video call for work in the middle of it all, but what else is new.

Had fancy hotel breakfast, checked out and headed home. Stopped at Alnwick on the way. Taught Mrs Basil how to use cruise control which she thinks is witchcraft. Collected the dog from our friends and she proceeded to annoy the fuck out of me for the rest of the day.

Went to IKEA today to get some blinds for the living room, with the hope they will stop the dog losing her mind barking at everything in the front garden. It’s been getting worse and worse and I’m at the end of my tether. Installed just one set on the main pane of the bay window. It was such a faff that I stopped there. Will see if it has an effect.
