Morning all

Dull. Overcast. Damp. Currently 14 degrees with a high of 16 expected. Potential for rain all day. The sun might make an appearance shortly before setting. Barometer down to 1006 mBar.

Sunrise 07:04; Sunset 16:25 GMT

Tired this morning.

The accountants finally sent through my accounts yesterday. Now to check it all as they've found some 'rounding error' which simply doesn't happen. I reconcile to the penny as there's really nothing complicated going on that means 27p should go adrift. It being divisible by 9 makes me think two numbers have been transposed somewhere. I spent 9 years doing accounts and was taught by someone who believed in getting it right irrespective of how big the company is.

Once I've cross referenced their CT calculations against FreeAgent and understood the reason for any differences, I am likely to bin them off as the service since they merged with another firm has not been great.

This is why i'm happy with my new gig.
self employed freelance consultant. I do my own accounts (excel) but have freeagent available if HMRC insist.
I think i'll knock it on the head at the 20% tax threshold though .

Lunch: Heinz chicken soup and white toast

And amidst work and meetings, I found time to put a bedding wash on - duvet cover, sheet, and pillowcases. This is one of the rather heavy duvet covers so I’ve now got that drying separately, while the rest waits damply in the laundry basket. I don’t know if the theory that it’s quicker to dry such a load in two halves is true, but I do it anyway

Thoroughly grumpy after drive back from me toothpaste inspection took me an extra 20 mins due to yet more *** road works. Cheering meself up by listening to Fleetwood Mac CD. Nowt has ever compared to Fleetwood Mac or The Moody Blues.

Another old fart thing at local cafe tomorrow. Dunno. Tues was art thing, Wed local history thing, this morning Mahjongy thing. Think I'm old farted out.

Another week done!

I may be enjoying the work more, but I’m still glad when it stops for a few days

As soon as I’d finished, I headed out to Not as Big Sainsbury’s to get the shopping out of the way. I don’t usually go at that time because it’s the rush hour, and it turned out to be even worse than I expected because of temporary lights at some roadworks a mile or more down the main road. But I got there eventually and it wasn’t too busy, so I was able to get such things as I remembered to get quite quickly

Coming home, I made a detour to the VAT fraud chip shop, which was also not as busy as I thought it would be. So tea has been haddock and chips, and very nice it was too

I really need to try the fish and chip shop at the bottom of my road. It's just reopened after a refurb, and had a name change. I guess that means new ownership.

This evening I watched some tat on YouTube and then the last two episodes of Unforgotten series 2. Although it was a very good ending, I also wanted a bit more closure. Always leave them wanting more!
