You would think it would be an easy job to file a company tax return on line. However, you would be wrong. There\u2019s the 20 minutes to find the right log-in details, then an hour to try to download up to date software and make it work and that\u2019s before she had entered any numbers at all. Then the software had downloaded something she didn\u2019t want along with it so there is the time to uninstall what has been installed. You can imagine we weren\u2019t welcome in the office when that was all going on. My Mistress was getting more stressed by the minute. She\u2019s also worrying that she hasn\u2019t heard back from the US tax authorities- she\u2019s starting to have visions of being arrested if she ever sets foot in America and that is not a good prospect. It wouldn\u2019t be so bad if she owed all these people money, but she doesn\u2019t!<\/p>\n
I tried to point out that the tax legislation doesn\u2019t really cover dogs, but apparently that\u2019s not an approach she should be encouraged to take as it could lead to all sorts of problems. I left her to it and went outside to enjoy the sunshine.<\/p>\n
It was time to feed the vegetables again yesterday and to be honest I think it would be far better to give the food to someone else, they don\u2019t look as though they need any help at all. The biggest problem is that the cauliflowers and broccoli are so large that you can\u2019t even get to the carrots and parsnips let alone see if any carrots are ready for digging up. It wouldn\u2019t be so bad if the cauliflower looked as though it had he intention of being more than leaf. The only thing showing real signs of being edible is the peas. I think there may be a meal or two coming from those fairly soon.<\/p>\n
