Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 1st December 2025.

1st December, 2025.

Right … you’ll possibly remember me mentioning that a house not far from my place had burnt down.

Sadly … ?

It seems that at least one person has died: and another — I’m assuming the spouse — is seriously injured, and still in hospital.

Thankfully — or not, depending on your point of view — the police are treating the event as non-suspicious.

So … ?

That means it was an accident: and not murder.

That possibly doesn’t makes things easier for the survivor.

~≈🔥≈~

Yes: before you say anything … 

I am up early!

Although not as early as last week.

But I’m up early for similar reasons.

I’m off to hospital: for my regular diabetic blood tests.

Thankfully … ?

It’s in Brentwood Community Hospital: rather than Basildon.

The trip’s going to be shorter … !

~≈🏥≈~

Just as a last thought … ?

I caught Frankenstein, the 2025 version, on Friday.

It’s rather good.

I’ll have a fuller review up, later … !

Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 30-11-2025 — Saint Andrew’s Day.

30th November, 2025: Saint Andrew’s Day.

In the midst of the words he was trying to say, in the midst of his laughter and glee … 

He suddenly realised he left someone off of the Christmas card list!

Thankfully?

I’m going to eternally grateful I’ve got a couple of cards and stamps left!

~≈🎄≈~

At any rate … ?

It’s Saint Andrew’s Day.

So … ?

I’ve been over-using ChatGPT, again!

And using ‘Ewan McGregor’ and ‘Peter Capaldi’ as prompts.

Hopefully, I won’t get into trouble, there … !

~≈🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿≈~

It seems the fire on Friday … has now been picked up by the BBC’s news site: and can be found, here.

And, while they and other news sites aren’t saying so … ?

There’s talk — talk, mind! — that someone died in the blaze.

If that’s truly the case … ?

I can only hope the fire was accidental: a chip-pan fire, say, or an overheating tumble dryer.

If it were deliberate … ?

And someone died … ?

That’s not arson, but murder …

Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 29-11-2025 — Yugoslavia

29th November, 2025: Yugoslavia.

Right, it’s now Saturday … 

And I’m still having earworms.

Yes: Sheldon Cooper’s still playing the blessed bongos in my head!

Why … ?

If I could work that out, or why the bongos are following the Yugoslav Dalek around, I’d make a big fortune … !

~≈🪘≈~

I was in town, yesterday: picking up a few bits.

And, on the way back … ?

Got passed by a police car: and a fire engine.

And heard what turned out to be an ambulance, as well.

It turns out there’s been a fire in a house not far from where I live: something a neighbour managed to grab a photo of.

Going by the damage in that photo?

And assuming it IS of where the fire happened?

It’s quite serious: so the talk that someone died in the fire, understandable.

And a tragedy …

Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 28th November 2025.

28th November, 2025.

OK … I caught a movie, last night.

And, hopefully?

Will have my written and video reviews up by Sunday.

I have to say this, though … the film in question is very good … 

~≈🪘≈~

I have a confession … I have an odder than usual ear worm, today.

Yes: The Big Bang Theory’s Sheldon Cooper is playing the bongos at me!

Why … ?

If I knew that, I could earn a fortune … !

Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 27th November 2025

27th November, 2025.

OK … I’ll admit it: I need stamps .

Two of them.

I spent most to last night writing out ones I’m going to be sending to friends and family in the UK … after having sent off three international cards.

Which cost a (comparative) bomb.

At any rate … ?

I have sixteen cards to send … and fourteen stamps.

I wonder how many I’ll need … … … … … …
