In the post today, a nice fat refund check from the tax people. I’ll have to pay it all back again in January, but it is still nice to have. My accountant and I were expecting the check to turn up while I was in the US and languish un-deposited for a couple of months. However, as HMRC have been exceptionally efficient I can deposit it before I leave.

Of course that does require a trip to Taunton where I might just find a shop or two…
