Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 8th February 2023.

8th February, 2023.

Yes: it’s official.

I managed to buy a replacement set of blinds, yesterday: as well as host my nephew, Jude.

Chicken strips, potato wedges and a video were the order of the day.

If someone could hit the Like button — or teach Grandma how to share it from YouTube — he’d appreciate it.

At any rate, I mentioned the blinds … ?

I bought some, yesterday: but I’m going to have to take it back.

There’s a couple of plastic rings on Wilko’s-brand blinds: that are supposed to be near the bottom of the string pulleys that let you operate the thing.

The ones on this?   Are jammed up against the top.

And preventing the blinds from dropping.

Frankly?

Back up Warley Hill I go: if I can’t get it replaced, I’d like my money back.

Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 8th February

8th February, 2018.

Arrrggghhh!

I’ve got an earworm … !

I know I’ve mentioned the idea, before now.

But, just in case you didn’t know what an earworm is, it’s a song: it’s, more specifically, the song that — sometimes for no apparently reason — is currently, and repetitively, going through your head.

I usually get the beggars first thing in the morning.

And this morning?

It’s Madame Butterfly.

By Malcolm McLaren.

Blowed if I know why!

~≈§≈~

Just so you know … ?

And just in case you were reading me, yesterday?

Yes: I’ve had the hospital appointment: the one checking out the chest pains I’ve been getting.

Hmmm … 

In the nurse’s opinion — after a whole series of questions, a stethoscope to the chest and another ECG — I’m not looking at angina … 

Yet.

But she is concerned enough to want to book me up for a CT scan: to check on my coronary arteries.

It’s long and drawn out.

But all good.
