Today I'm happy about......

[William the White]

Finally filled in online tax return.

They say they will refund me £774.

I'm surprised. But happy.

I retired during that year... Until end Sept they were taxing me at 40%, which would have ben accurate over a full year... But once retired had earned less than whatever the threshold for that band is... So had to be taxed at the lower rate at the end of the year... My royalities for play revivals that year were £328...

My 'royalties' tend to be in the neighbourhood of $35 every two years - maybe I should switch to drama.

taxed at 40%?? I thought uni lecturers were poorly paid!!! (sometimes I think I have landed in some kind of football supporters rich-list club!)

Given the fact that Will's just landed a nice rebate, and given his remarks, I take it that he hasn't grasped the fact that he only needed to pay tax at 40% on earnings over a level. Nor taken into account tax-free earnings. That must hurt, when your fiscal ineptitude brings home twice as much as your earnest endeavour.

Took my dog out for his first walk in the park across the road before work this morning.

He was a hit with the general public and after some initial caution, quickly became very bold in going up and introducing himself to very big dogs, many of whom seemed intimidated by the tiny little upstart.

Have you any pics to share?

I had too much to worry about to be taking pictures! He might have been confident, but I was poised to get involved if he started anything he couldn't see through...

Okay, perhaps I should have said 'have you any pictures of the dog in general (not Mannerheim) rather than this morning's specific escapade?'

[mummywhycantieatcrayons]

Ah, sorry! I have put one or two up before...

You've just made me realise I don't have any very recent pictures of him and he's growing fast

[thebish]

whenever i see one of those little dogs it reminds me of this...

[mummywhycantieatcrayons]

He's just a puppy - he'll grow to full Jack Russell size, I think.

Oh, that's good to hear. I was worried about people questioning your sexuality.

[clapton is god]

First time I've seen Franks staue in Timperley this morning.

Looks more like Fred Dibnah than the Fred Dibnah statue does.

Where's Little Frank?

I'll happily discuss the subject with all the women he seems to attract.

I once took a friend's dalmation for a walk and I've never felt as attractive in all my life.
