Since reading <i>Reginald</i> at a formative age, it's all been referred to dismissively as "widgeon westward winging" by me. I'm afraid that Saki really did shape my life.<br /><br />I do practically nothing, compared to most people, by the way. I just tell you all about it.Zhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00822383355869390919noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21602861.post-73414356827755217052009-11-17T14:36:43.644+00:002009-11-17T14:36:43.644+00:00My grandfather used to compose his own Christmas g...My grandfather used to compose his own Christmas greetings, generally a pithily pompous apothegm (Dave: this is not another euphemism for 'drunk')<br />that made you curl your toes in embarrassed agony. One year it was 'From full endeavour flourishes a flowering of life'. He was proud of the alliteration and to extend it even endowed the W of 'flowering' with a sort of breathy lip-pressure, as pronounced in German.<br /><br />I see you must have been his model. For the full endeavour, that is, not the alliteration.<br /><br />Bom viagem!Christopherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14227767014123557100noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21602861.post-29831697658311864922009-11-17T09:44:36.145+00:002009-11-17T09:44:36.145+00:00Will you be self employed now 4D?

No point in paying it earlier, is there? Though I won't be rushing to beat the deadline either, I'll leave a few days in hand.<br /><br />If I had a proper job, Ivy, I'd not have to keep such an organised diary. I mostly remember what I have to do and only make lists if I'm really pushed, but appointments have to be written down.Zhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00822383355869390919noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21602861.post-52748512145337819352009-11-17T08:00:20.043+00:002009-11-17T08:00:20.043+00:00No Martina, the end of the year is the final deadl...No Martina, the end of the year is the final deadline for sending in tax returns. The tax year starts on the 5th April, and the forms come out a few days after that. I completed mine in April, and had received my tax refund by June.<br /><br />Some people, though, prefer to leave things until a little closer to the deadline.Davehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08403853324345062446noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21602861.post-38315445359217784922009-11-17T07:01:36.136+00:002009-11-17T07:01:36.136+00:00Gosh, how organised you are to have your week all ...Gosh, how organised you are to have your week all planned out like that.
