Good Morning!

Good morning myloters. It is a beautiful day here in the UK albeit very cold this morning.This weekend it is going to be very cold with the possibility of snow tomorrow. A cold front is blowing in from Russia. There is a saying we have here in the UK. "When the north wind doth blow we shall have snow"! This was a nursery rhyme from around the 16th century hence the old English "doth". Indeed when the wind does blow from the north the temperatures are noticeably cooler but in winter it is very cold. So on Thursday I returned to work after being off for six weeks. I only went in for a couple of hours each day just to work myself in and catch up with stuff. It was quite difficult walking around the hospital as so many people were stopping me and asking me where I had been as they had not seen me for ages so they were quite shocked to hear why I had been off. It was nice to meet up with my colleagues. I have a new Doctor join my team while I was off. Oh lord to me he looks about 14. I guess it is the same when you meet a Policeman they look so young. It makes you feel like asking if their mothers know they are out on their own!. Listening to the radio this morning I heard that Americans are preparing their tax returns. I do not know anything about this as this for me is all taken care of by the government. I do not have to fill in any forms or anything like that. Perhaps you can enlighten me what this is all about. Does this mean you have to pay all your taxes back dated for the year? Or is it a means of showing what you have earned over the year which will determine your tax code for the next year? Are your taxes taken at source? I know if you had to settle your tax bill at the end of the year I do not think I could be so disciplined to save money to pay a tax bill. I know a lot of people were talking about it last year saying they had to prepare the tax bills. It would be fascinating to learn about this. If you are due to pay your tax bills now I hope they are not too overwhelming. Have a nice cosy weekend. This photo is for one of mylot friends who is about to go on a cruise. Just to get her in the mood although I dare say she will need much encouragement. I am sure she is excited as the days are approaching fast!
