Our new Constitution is now established, everything seems to promise it will be durable; but, in this world, nothing is certain except death and taxes,” — Benjamin Franklin, 1789

I had a text conversation with my Aunt on an early evening in June;

‘Chuttie, I’m knee deep tidying.’

‘Oh Wow! Good going!’

‘Earmarking headaches for you before I kick the bucket. Great fun!’
