I have just been listening to my Mistress having the weirdest conversation with the tax office. She wrote to them on the 17th<\/sup> of August and hasn\u2019t heard anything back. She rang to find out if they had the letter. Apparently, they can\u2019t tell you if they have had your letter until they actually reply to it and as will all efficient organisations, she can expect a reply by 30th<\/sup> October. It was only when she complained to the supervisor that she got as far as being told they have just issued her refund, even though it may be another five weeks before they write to tell her it\u2019s on the way. All I can say is that it is a good job they haven\u2019t been entrusted to run anything important, where timeliness might actually matter. Maybe the Government has got too carried away with cutting NHS waiting lists and ought to be focussing on some of the other Government services, such as tax. They are quick enough to ask for money when you owe it to them.<\/p>\n

Shadow has had her bandage replaced again. Her leg is now healing nicely and if she could be trusted to leave the wound alone she wouldn\u2019t have needed a new bandage on it. Unfortunately, she cannot be trusted and nor for that matter can I. If she tells me it feels a little itchy, of course I\u2019m going to scratch it for her. She\u2019d do the same for me if I needed it. She\u2019s been chewing books again. My Mistress was only out for half an hour, but it was long enough for Shadow to eat the corner of a book. This time the whole thing is still readable, but I think my Mistress only just caught it in time.<\/p>\n
