      Uggghh taxes are the DEVIL. Or a wolf posing as the Honorable Sherriff of Nottingham. One of 'em.

      Tree pruning would win that battle in my life. Good luck with the tax, luckily my cycling business is reasonably easy.

      Haven't been able to work in my studio for several days. My big Skutt needed rewiring. My husband decided we needed to put some more concrete board on the walls while it was out of the room. Hopefully I will have my studio back in a couple of days.
