Good morning everyone

Cloudy here, may brighten up late afternoon, could get some rain for a time.

Ros, I remember you mentioned that you had sung the Ave Maria at your last concert I posted the clip as a piano solo for a direct comparison with Bach's prelude.

Although Ros would know this, for the benefit of those who don't Bach's Well-tempered Clavier is a set of preludes and fugues for each key in the chromatic scale. That's the number of keys in an octave on a piano - 7 white keys and 5 black keys. Each of those can be played with a major scale and a minor scale. So there are 24 difference scales.

I hope everyone has a good day

The Met Office storm names for 2019/20 have been announced:

Good morning a rainy start here, and I’ve got my thin gloves out! Hello autumn lol 

I'm heading to my accountants this morning to collect my books, my tax return is complete and ready for submission  

Summer, I'm glad your accountants have your tax return done in plenty of time 

I submitted mine some weeks ago

I'll need to check for my clients that the returns for 2018/19 I've submitted are actually showing the correct amount of tax due in January. Last year I found out that quite a few of them were incorrect (HMRC fault, not mine) and that one of the returns had been rejected not that I or the client were ever informed. I don't know what would have happened if I hadn't checked and alerted HMRC to this.

Good afternoon accountants and accountees   

It’s cool and windy here. Very autumnal 

No shopping today. A little washing on the line and me firmly indoors until my next trip up the park 

Have a great day everyone  

Good afternoon non-accountee

 good afternoon to you too El  

Received a letter in the post today from British Gas re my complaint. Standard letter saying they are looking into it and will be in touch in the next 21 days.

So it looks as if it will be quite some time before I know anything further.

It depends as to what British Gas eventually tell me. I can understand why it's not a quick process as they may need to do some investigating

Evening all 

El, I remember your dad was an accomplished pianist but don’t know if you or your brother play piano?

I’ve been clearing out paperwork today....boring but it had to be done 

Hope you’ve all had a good day 

Evening yogi and fellow non and full accountants I hope you each had a good day. 

I was complimented on my organised bookkeeping and had it confirmed that I have indeed saved too much tax money over several years, so I’m allowed to have some and go treat myself  the hard part will be lifting my heavy folders up into the attic, I’ve no space left in my spare room/mini office 

i’m Turning in for an early night, sweet dreams gorgeous friends

Well done Sweet 

Excellent bookkeeping 

A lady of many talents  

Nighty nite, sleep well, sweet dreams my friends. See you all tomorrow  

night  yogi moons summer

Good morning everyone it's a better morning with the promise of a little sunshine later. Well done Summer I wonder what your treat will be. 

Enjoy your day everyone

Good morning everyone

Cloudy here, may brighten up later.

Yogi, neither I or my brother showed any flair for playing the piano or any other musical instrument.

Summer, well done on your organised bookkeeping I know you keep on top of it which is sensible rather than let it build up. It makes the accountant's work easier. Also better for you should HMRC ever decide to look at your records.

I hope everyone has a good day

A shocker of a news story about someone who had been using Extra Energy and had been paying £35 a month, that company went bust and the administrators have sent her the final bill for £4,431

Good afternoon everyone  

Rather dull and overcast here. No stiff breeze today so not to bad a day, so far 

Shopping done and been up the park too 

I hope you all have a great day

Although £35 a month does seem low for a 2 bedroom terraced house, if they were with Extra Energy for 2 and a half years (I'm basing this on what's mentioned in the article) the total cost works out at £2,192 a year which is absurdly high (more than 5 times what she was paying a month).

One of those matches at Cheltenham Town this afternoon with quite a number of goals. They were at home against Stevenage which is currently near the bottom of the table.

At 22 minutes C score so 1-0
At 48 minutes S score so 1-1
At 57 minutes C score so 2-1
At 72 minutes S score so 2-2
At 80 minutes C score so 3-2

One further goal was scored in injury time. It was Cheltenham so they win 4-2

Cheltenham is currently 6th in the table, a good position, but very early in the season. They are playing well at home but need to improve their away form.

Evening all 

It has been a bright sunny day.

I have emptied my hanging baskets as they are passed their best.

Our eldest son visited yesterday and today our middle and youngest sons visited so, we’ve seen all three this week.

El, I also have no aptitude for playing musical instruments.

How were the swans today, Moonie 

I hope you’ve all had a good day.

Good morning everyone it's still very chilly but with a nice pale blue sky.

Enjoy your day everyone

Good morning everyone

Sunny start to the day but cold enough for my central heating to come on for the first time this season. Forecast to warm up and for clouds to roll in - tomorrow is forecast to be wet.

Yogi, I know that my father was disappointed that neither I or my brother showed musical ability in terms of playing instruments. But he was a bit of a perfectionist.

I hope everyone has a good day

One of the most iconic cottages in the country is up for sale at £475,000. It's the childhood home of Laurie Lee and was the inspiration for his Cider with Rosie book:

The best cottages are in Glencoe. Not Jimmy Saviles obviously
