PLEASE EXCUSE AL

To whom it may concern:

Please excuse Al for a lack of updates on this blog. He’s been off learning how to dance. And attending many fundraising meetings. Then there’s been the school stuff, he’s been wrestling with an arduino of all things for weeks now, his social life has become so much the busier and much to the chagrin of his body, he’s been exercising more. A lot more.

In fact short of moving house while still working a full time job, I feel this is the busiest he’s been from day to day in a very long time.

And interestingly/strangely, it looks like he might actually be enjoying it..

Time to see the man about my taxes

Oh good, it’s tax time again. Which once upon a time involved me breaking out a bottle of red wine and the tax pack from the local newsagent (in that order) and then doing it three times with varying results. Then came online which made things far simpler, right up until the time when my tax got a little more complicated with many more moving parts.

Luckily I now pay a very clever tax agency to cast their eyes over things so I don’t have to. And they have been great in doing a far better job than I have so which is very helpful you see…because my mechanic just called and he seems very keen on buying his kids a boat.
