Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 6-1-2025 — The Attack

6th January, 2025: the Attack.

It’s officially something I was trying to avoid: but I have to admit … I have an earworm, this morning!

Yes: a song about a baby!

Quite why … ?

I’m blowed if I know!

~≈♪≈~

It’s also, officially, Monday.

The first of the new year.

So … ?

I’m up early: to go to my newly re-started weight management group.

Hopefully?

I’ll’ve lost something: preferable some weight, rather than any hope, or my wits!

Height … … ho!

Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 5-1-2025 — Waiting for Godot.

5th January, 2025: Waiting for Godot.

Yep: when I woke up this morning, it was raining.

It’s now, thankfully, stopped.

Which is possibly a good thing.

As there’s less of a chance of black ice, due to rain, and light, overnight, snow.

Either way … ?

I’m planning to go for a stroll, later.

Being careful would be an idea …

~≈❄️≈~

Did I mention I had — had — Meatloaf’s Bat out of Hell LP on in the background?

In the wake of the man’s death, “Heaven can Wait” still carries one hell of an emotional charge!

So much of a charge, I had to switch it off.

It’s genuinely upsetting …

Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 4-1-2024 — Burmese Days

4th January, 2025: Burmese Days.

Right … it’s now, officially, Saturday!

Yay!

Again!

At any rate, it’s not a day where I’m planning to do much … beyond wait.

I’ve applied for a bus pass that it seems I’m eligible for.

Only the site I’ve applied to keeps reject my documents.

Why?

I don’t know.

Frustrating, eh … ?

~≈🚍≈~

JUST as a though … ?

Yes: my nephew, Jude was here, yesterday.

And?

Just as a change of pace, made a video about Armagetron Advanced … !

Enjoy that!

Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 3rd January 2025.

3rd January, 2024.

You know … I have to head into town: to pick up some meds!

And I get the impression I’m going to have to rush today’s post as a result!

As I’ve got to look after my nephew, this afternoon.

Heigh … ho!

~≈👦🏼≈~

I’ve also got to confess … that a friend reminded me of something.

That, as I’m claiming a qualifying benefit, I can claim a bus pass that lets me travel for free.

At least in Essex: and possibly on buses run by Transport for London.

That … ?

That’s useful.

It’s just a shame I got reminded about it … on the day the bus fares went up!

~≈🚏≈~

Oh … yesterday was the anniversary of the original airing of “The Way Back”, the first episode of Blake’s Seven.

Following in the footsteps of the Doctor Who — The Collection box sets, the BBC have re-released the first series in a set that includes two copies of each episode: an upscaled version of the episode as broadcast, and one with updated effects.

I watched the updated version: which was interesting to watch.

About my only criticism?

Was with the original scripting of this episode.

Blake is framed for assaulting a minor.

Then, when transported to a prison planet?

Mixed, openly, with other prisoners.

There’s my criticism.

From the little I know of these things, any prisoner accursed of those sorts of crimes would not be mixed with the general run of prisoners.

They’d get seriously assaulted, if not murdered* …

Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 2-1-2025 — Blake’s Seven

2nd January, 2025: Blake’s 7.

OK, OK … it’s Thursday!

Which frankly means I’d normally be hopping, skipping and jumping around like a excitable bunny!

I think I’d rather not.

Not given the weather!

It’s definitely chilly …

~≈🥶≈~

You’ve possibly noticed that there’s been an attack on party-goers in New Orleans: by a man identified as US Army veteran, Shamsud-Din Jabbar.

An attack that’s been provisionally labelled as a terrorist attack, and connected to the activities of the Islamic State group.

And possibly connected to the explosion of a Tesla Cybertruck, outside a Trump hotel in Las Vegas.

A van made by Elon Musk, exploding outside a hotel owned and operated by President Elect Donald Trump.

I think America’s going to have a rough time as a result of Trump’s second term.

This … ?

Possibly won’t be the last such thing …
