Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 19th January 2024.

19th January. 2024.

OK … it’s now no longer Thursday: but Friday!

And yes: that means I’ve had the weekly dose of one diabetes medication.

Remind me to order another box of that one: I’ve got one left … !

~≈Ω≈~

OK, off on a different note … ?

The BBC’s news site tells us that a trial has taken place in twenty-one pubs* in the UK: experimenting with selling wine in smaller glasses.

Apparently?

Removing the large, 250ml glass from the menu helped reduce drinking by some 7.6%.

Which sounds good.

But?

I can remember when the 250ml glasses were introduced.

I feel old … !

Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 19-1-2023 — Janis.

19th January, 2023: Janis.

Right … I’ve officially got a repairman coming, this afternoon.

To refit my thermostat.

Hopefully?

He’ll turn up with ID, this time!

~≈†≈~

At any rate … ?

I’ve been complaining about money: including the £150 Warm Home Discount.

And how I’ve had to waiting for this month’s Cost of Living Voucher.

That?   Finally turned up, yesterday: and got added to my meter.

Thank heavens for that.

Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 19-1-2017

Hmmm … 

That’s … sad … 

I’ve found out my Uncle Ray died, yesterday … 

I’m … 

Well, I’m not grieving, per se.

Which will sound strange, I know.

But I never actually got to know Uncle Ray as well as I could: I was never especially close to his end of the family.

I think that’s the loss I’m feeling.

Not so much the loss of a family member.

But the loss of a family member I never had the chance to know better.

The Daily Teaser — 19-1-2015

Hmmm … 

Am I the only one who finds that annoying?

I don’t know about you, but I’ve been watching the TV series, Gotham.

And thoroughly enjoying it.

What’s annoyed me, though … ?   Is the fact the show’s on a mid season break: something done by a lot of US TV companies.

Personally … ?

Personally, that’s irritating the hell out of me.

Granted, it’s not fault of Channel Five, the show’s UK distributer.

But I find it annoying.   Having grown up in the UK, where the mid-season break isn’t common, I see a TV series is one whole and entire unit: designed to be watched one episode at a time, over a course of a few months.

Having such a break?   Having such a break is — to me — both annoying, irrational … 

And bloody stupid.
