Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 7-4-2021: Life on Mars.

7th April, 2021.




Yes: I’m going to be doing stuff!

No, really!   I managed to see the first episode of For All Mankind’s second series, last night: a rather exciting episode involving a solar flare.

That, and the video, will be live, later.

I’ve also got to give Basildon Hospital a ring, as I’m having a phone appointment, next week.   I want to make sure they have the right number.

All that … ?

And I’ll confess to feeling rather pleased.

Last night’s home made beef stew went down rather well.

I think I’m getting the hang of parsnips …

I THINK blogging’s having an effect on me!

I’ve seen this piece on the BBC’s news site: a piece that tells us dozens have been fined over what the article calls — with pointed quote marks  — ‘illegal mushroom picking.’

The way my mind works?

I’m wondering if the people fined were fined for picking mushrooms illegally, or picking illegal mushrooms!

Who knows!

Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 13-3-2020: Uranus

13th March, 2020.


It’s definite … it’s Friday.

And frankly?

I’m exacting a quiet Friday: as I’d cancelled my weight management class, last week … in the expectation I’d be having a blood test, today.

I’ve had to cancel that: as it’s unneeded.

As I mentioned yesterday — in this post — I’ve finally been diagnosed with diabetes.

Type two.

And been prescribed Metformin for it.

Hopefully?

The diarrhoea will die down soon!

Speaking of ill health … ?

I’ve just spotted this piece on the BBC’s news site.

Seemingly, cyber criminals are taking advantage of the Coronavirus outbreak and sending out Corona themed spam.

Keep your eyes peeled!

The Daily Teaser — 7-12-2015: The Galileo Probe

Oh … 

POOP!

I am having problems!

I’ve got a Mac.   I absolutely love them to bits, I REALLY do.

This morning, though … ?

I have a problem.

I find that that Time Machine — the onboard back-up program that ships with the version of OS X I use — can’t back up … 

Because the extra internal drive I use as my back up drive … is full … !

Right now … ?

I’m thinking I need to get a bigger internal drive: I’d hate to not have a back-up solution.

And wouldn’t you know it … ?

Unless advertising revenue starts coming in, I’m going to have to wait until AFTER Christmas!

Assuming I get pots of money for Christmas.

Blast … !
