This budget is, however, what The ConDemNation promised, and after weeks of hand-wringing speculation, the only real negative is the stepping up of Value Added Tax from 17.5% to 20% in the New Year. With the pound struggling against the dollar, it looks like my big comic orders, will have to be reined in a bit - but then again, I usually only get anything that's likely to attract VAT maybe twice a year (for Spiritwalk and Patent Saturday).
At least we've had a really nice day to take the sting off it all - a glorious enough day for "coffee-break" on the grass outside the lab, and an after-work paddle along the beach (fabulous). After that, I keep my "buy a book a month" Task
Oh, and Chapter 5 of TDD-606 The Ragged Edge has advanced considerably since last time - a chunk dealt with last night instead of net-based procrastination, and another at lunch. I can conclude this story very soon - maybe even tonight...
