Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 14th April, 2026.

14th April, 2026.

OK … it’s Tuesday.

Which means it’s the day after my weight management meeting.

And … ?

I’ve put on two hundred grams.

That’s not want I wanted to hear: but I’m aware that it was under a kilo.

And that my overall weight is still under 100 kilos.

So that’s something to be grateful for.

I missed a call, last night: from my surgery.

So … ?

What I’ve done this morning is call them: and arrange for a call back.

Hopefully, that won’t take too long.

But the automated announcement the surgery has built into their phone system told me I was thirteenth in the queue.

Heigh — wait for it — ho!

~≈📞≈~

Blimey, that was quick!

They’ve just phoned: and re-arranged the appointment I had with the nurse practitioner.

And done that in record time!

Here’s hoping the new appointment goes well.

Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 14th April, 2020.

14th April, 2020.

Right at the moment … ?

It’s Tuesday: and just gone ten to eight.

Frankly?

I’m going to be heading up to town, later: to pick up my diabetes medication.

And to get some shopping.

After a two week holiday?   Sainsbury’s have added some offers to my Nectar card.

Including for white fleshed sweet potatoes.

I hope they’ve got some.

I’m getting heartily sick of the red ones!

Oh, just as a quick thought?

A robotics engineer in California has scored scored some brownie points.

By building an experimental ventilator: out of easily available parts, a lot of open source code … and a Raspberry Pi, Britain’s best selling computer.

The thing’s currently getting testing in Colombia.

Hopefully?

Someone in the UK will pick that up.

It sounds like it could be an ideal solution, here in the UK.

Especially given that the Pi, the best selling British computer ever made?

Is British!
