Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 24th August 2023.

24th August, 2023.

Right … it’s Thursday.

And?

My bills are paid: and the utilities are topped up.

Which was worrying me, if I’m honest.

At any rate … ?

I’ve a meeting today: with a charity called Peabody.

Hopefully, they’ll be able to help with my Personal Independence Payment claim.

~≈¥≈~

Over the past few days … ?

There’s been a lot made about the death of a little girl called Sara Sharif.

She was found dead, a few days ago, in the family home in Surrey: a home that had been seemingly abandoned by the rest of her family.

It seems her father, step mother and uncle had fled to Pakistan: whilst making a ‘Concern for Welfare’ call to local police.

Various things have come out, since reporting started.

Including reports that one neighbour had been told the little girl was being home-schooled: and, when she had been seen at school, had been seen with injuries.

I’m not someone who’s connected to the case: just someone saddened by some tragic news.

But also someone who’s wondering something: something not mentioned in all the press I’ve seen.

Where’s the girl’s mother in all this … ?

Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 24th August, 2022.

24th August, 2022.

It’s definitely a quiet day.

Well … 

I say quiet.

I’m expecting my nephew, Jude, over, later.

Quiet possibly won’t be the word.

At ANY rate: you’ll find his latest YouTube short, here.

~≈₹≈~

Talking of Jude?

You’ll possibly have realised he likes the football game, FIFA 22.

And looking forward to the updated version — FIFA 23 — when it’s released.

He’s pre-ordered it: at some £72.   Or there about.

He’s mildly jealous of people in India, though.

Due to a mistake in the placing a decimal point, the game’s manufacturers, EA Games, made it available for ₹4·8.

About 5p.

Then announced they’d honour that.

Jude wasn’t exactly happy … … … … … … 

~≈₹≈~

Talking of money … ?

I got the £150 energy rebate, a few months ago.

It’s long since been spent, I should add.

But … ?

It seems some people are still waiting for it.

Frankly?

That’s … 

Not good.

Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 24th August, 2020.

24th August, 2020

Yep: it’s Monday!

Which means — potentially — I could hear about the funding I’ve applied for: for the course I’m doing … 

Frankly?

I’m convinced I won’t: these things do take their time!

It’s going to be a waiting game!

Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 24-8-2017

Mmmm … 

I’m … 

Thing … 

Wosname … 

Feeling MIXED … 

So you know.

Frankly?

This morning, I’m having to wait in for an electrician: who’s due to replace the light fitting in the hallway.

He’s due to turn up, anytime between now — 8am — and 1 o’clock.

At the end of it?

It means I’ll hopefully have a working light.

But will mean I’m going to be stuck indoors, ’til he’s gone.

I hate that.

I’ll be getting cabin fever!

The Daily Teaser — 9-1-2015

I’ve said this before: and will no doubt say it, again.

But waking up to an earworm can be weird, sometimes.

An earworm, before you ask, is a song that’ll happily play itself — or bits of itself — entirely in your head.

Sometimes for no apparent reason.

Certainly for no apparent reason that I can see, this morning.

Lord knows why, but I’ve woken up with Linton Kwesi Johnson’s Reality Poem, from Forces Of Victory, unwinding in my head.

There’s only one thing for it.

Passing it on … !

~≈Ê≈~

The Daily Teaser — 24-8-2014

I’m impressed … !

No, really, I’m impressed … !

Mostly at myself, actually.

I managed to do a rather long post: and get to bed slightly later than usual.

And managed to wake up feeling … 

Well, only slightly tired.

And not too bad, all things considered.

Now … 

You’ve possibly worked out what I was writing about …
