Deja Vu...

It's almost exactly a year to the day since I began this blog and so we come full circle...the inspiration then as I recall was a visit to my accountant in order for the oily wretch to demand money with menaces on account of sums allegedly earned by me in the year..money may I add which i have scant recall of actually seeing never mind spending. Well...I was there again this morning..reason the same..result the same..headache, exactly the same.
And yes...Micawber was just as ingratiating and unctuous than ever he was..hovering astride his seat like some drooling Gothic creature of the night..his claw-like hand pointing at the spreadsheet before him...and just as in last year's horror story the amount to pay by 31st January had been underlined in red ink...and just in case I had missed the really bad news, the additional amount to pay by the end of July had been circled in blue ink..twice.
Considering I pay him to perform this odious task it would be nice were he to at least try to feign a degree of sorrow or regret... even empathy..whilst delivering such a crushing blow...but no..just his usual thinly disguised spiteful smirk...evil bastard.
