Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 15-8-2023 — Liechtenstein.

15th August, 2023: Liechtenstein.

Ouch!

I hate how my shoes fail, when I need them not to!

I caught my foot on the pavement on Warley Hill, coming home, yesterday.

With the net result … ?   That I ended up falling, face first, onto the pavement.

With a bag of shopping on my back!

Ouch!

I’m OK: bar a few aches and pains … and a very nasty scab … !

~≈∇≈~

Oh … I’ve had a call from my GP’s social prescriber, yesterday.

Literally minutes after going arse over tit!

And managed to get her to phone back … on my landline.

It seems I may qualify from help from a charity called Peabody.

They’ve two drop in services organised at local churches: yesterday and today.

Neither of which are easy to get to.

And an appointment only meeting, at Brentwood Town Hall, tomorrow.

I’ve phoned for one, had the initial call … but not yet had a call back with an appointment.

We’ll have to see.

~≈∇≈~

Decisions about scores are final.

Thank you for coming: have a good day.

*        From I recall, Olga?   I think Ozempic’s the problem one, there: although the Wikipedia entry’s changed.   In that sense?   I’m glad I’m off it.   That’s counterbalanced by the weight management aspects: it seemed to be having a bigger effect on the weight.   And I noticed I seem to have less chest pain under stress, when using it.

        The Forxiga I’m on, on the other hand?   Can lead to Fournier Gangrene.   I hope that’s rare!   (Although, apparently?   Harvey Weinstein’s got it.   Which is possibly karma …)

†        Hello, Mum!

‡        Flagstaff, Flagstaff?   Isn’t there some sort of science establishment, there, Debbi?   I’ve vague memories of it being mentioned by Arthur C. Clarke.   Oh, wait, hang on: Lowell Observatory’s there!   

        Oh, dear … Roger Daltrey in a vat of baked beans is not a pretty sight!   And this is me talking … !
