Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 26th April 2023.

26th April, 2023.


Hmmm … 

It’s Wednesday: and possibly the day to do stuff.

Possibilities included doing some paperwork at Brentwood Library … and possibly shopping.

Oh, and definitely putting some money on the gas and electric: my cost of living payment’s gone through.

That helps!

~≈£≈~

Talking of money … ?

Which we weren’t, but there you go.

Talking of money, I’ve had to use food banks, in the past: there’s a couple in Brentwood, and, according to a news report, today … ?

A record number of people have been using them.

Additionally?

The Trussell Trust, the charity that runs many of them, has called on the Government to increase rates of Universal Credit: in line with ‘essential costs’.

Good for them.

But?

~≈£≈~

Oh, I may — or may not — have mentioned the road works going on in my street.

I now have a better idea of what’s going on.


It looks like extra cabinets for internet connections.

According to the gossip?   Boxes for Virgin Media.

I can only hope those of us who use BT’s network to access the ’Net can get some traffic routed through them.

Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 26th April, 2020.

26th April, 2020.


Yep!

I’ve got another one!   Possibly.

A few weeks ago, now, I joined Instagram: purely to try and advertise Nik Nak’s Old Peculiar.

And read, re-read and double re-read their advice on scammers on the platform: after getting a couple of deeply suspicious message.

From deeply suspicious users.

I’ve had about one a day for the past few days.

I’ve had another one, today.

She’s got a very attractive profile picture … 


And her first name … ?   Is Andrew.

She got blocked …

~≈†≈~

Just as a thought … ?

I mentioned my Love Songs list, the other day: you can find it here.

The reason I mentioned it … ?

Is simply that I didn’t add this tune from Fiddler on the Roof.   It’s just the song about a relationship that hasn’t collapsed, and is working well enough … 


Talk about your goosebumps!

The Daily Teaser — 26-4-2016

Oh, well, that seemed to work … 

I mentioned, yesterday, I was having a problem with my hands: with quite a bit of dry skin.

Thankfully, though?

I managed to pick up a tub of skin cream from my local branch of Boots: a rather strong, medicated one.

It does seem to have worked rather well.

My hands are definitely felling a touch better!

It’s all good!

The Daily Teaser — 26-4-2015

FINALLY … !

The thing turned up … !

I managed to order a cable a few days ago: which arrived, yesterday.

One that let’s me connect a monitor with a vga to a video card — like mine — with a DVI port.

I’m thankful, grateful … 

And looking forward to trying it out.

Especially when you consider the second hand Mac Pro I’m using has a comparatively high spec video card — at least, for the generation of the machine — that includes two such ports.

In other words?   I can connect two monitors to it … 

Yes … looking forward …
