Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 3-12-2024 — Berkshire

3rd December, 2024: Berkshire.


I’m officially getting old!

I saw a movie, on Sunday night: 1980s Hazel O’Connor vehicle, Breaking Glass.

And published both written and video versions of my review, fairly late.


This morning … ?

I find myself feeling bloody knackered: as a result of finishing the video version incredibly late.

Or, at least, more tired than I would’ve felt, ten years ago!

I’m getting old!

~≈🥱≈~

Oh … yesterday’s weight management meeting went well enough: I’ve lost weight.

Not much weight: but a nod’s as good as a wink to a blind bat.

Or horse, cat, herring, banana, what have you!

The unfortunate thing?

Was that blood test I had afterwards.

It was a dead loss: that I’ve had to rebook.

I’d not drunk enough fluids for the phlebotomist to be able to do her job!

~≈🩸≈~

Elon Musk is lovely, and I want to fondle him.

Please insert a lot of irony into that statement!

Elon Musk is … probably several things: including all sorts of unprintable things.

But … ?

He’s got ministers thinking.

As Elon’s announced he wants to donate some $100, 000, 000 to Nigel Farage’s Reform party, ministers are now thinking of introducing a cap — or, at least, tightening caps — on foreign donations to British political parties.

Elon could probably, very easily, get around that: by setting up dummy companies, giving them money, and telling them to make a donation for him.

But … ?

In considering these caps, the government is at least showing it wants to be seen to be doing something!

~≈🤑≈~

I’ve JUST had a call from my landlords.

They’ll be sending a carpenter around on Friday, to do some work on my bathroom!

Yay!

Breaking Glass — A Review.

1st December, 2024: Breaking Glass.

The Introduction.

Right … 

I think I make a break in tradition: and not open this piece with a video introduction.

Why do work when I don’t need to?

Especially when I have to get up in the morning!

At any rate … ?

It’s early on a Sunday night: and I have a film I’ve been meaning to watch for some time.

The 1980, Hazel O’Connor vehicle that is Breaking Glass.

Let’s hope the film is better than the trailer …

Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 2nd December 2024.

2nd December, 2024.


It’s official.

I caught a movie, last night: the 1980, Hazel O’Connor vehicle that is Breaking Glass.

I’ll have my review up, later: but?

But … ?

I’ve now got “Give Me An Inch” ear-worming its way through my head.


~≈👩🏻‍🎤≈~

Did I mention I made a quick video, yesterday?

I made a quick video, yesterday!

Can you do me a favour, please?

I made a quick video, yesterday.


Let me know if the thing makes sense, please!

~≈📼≈~

Just as a last thought … ?

It’s early on a Monday morning: so, of course, I’m off to my weekly weight management course.

Hopefully?

I’ll have lost something: something I’ve not managed over the past couple of weeks.

Even though my trousers feel looser, I’ve gone up, slightly!

Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 1st December 2024.

1st December, 2024.


It’s a Sunday morning.

And?

I’ve got Radio 4’s Sunday programme on in the background: telling us how many diaspora churches — churches where many immigrant communities worship — are having trouble finding venues to worship in … 

Despite many churches in Scotland having buildings going begging!

At any rate … ?

The church around the corner from me rents out its building of a Sunday afternoon: to something called Brentwood Tamil Church.

I know that, because — during its evening services — it has a volunteer over the road: holding up a sign that says something on the lines of “Jesus Saves!”

It’s not something that encourages me to visit: nor many others.

But … ?

Well … I have to give them credit for persistence!
