Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 27-9-2024 — Michael Gambon.

27th September, 2024: Michael Gambon.


Right … 

That Amazon delivery finally turned up, yesterday.

After being delayed … and me complaining as a result.

Frankly?

I’m glad I did.

I managed to get the delivery charge refunded, if nothing else.

That … ?

Should turn up on Monday.

~≈🚚≈~

Did I mention I had to attend a tribunal, yesterday?

By phone?

To see if I qualified for extra financial help.

I felt it went well enough: although, inevitably, there’s things I felt I should have mentioned … and didn’t get the chance to.

And things I tried to stress: but felt weren’t taken account of.

At any rate … ?

I was told I’d hear, by post, ‘early next week’.

With that lot out of the way?

I’d like to thank two friends — Sophie and Graham — who’ve offered advice about the process over the months.

And Carly: who’s offered both advice and encouragement.

And too Louise, on Facebook: who, in one comment, told me the results could be in, early: and be listed on the website, if that was the case.

She was right.

It seems I’ve been awarded a back-dated award.

I still — as far as I know — need to get the letter as confirmation.

And, I’m told, a call from the Department of Work and Pensions, to check on bank details.

The sooner that lot happens?

The happier I’ll be.

Dad’s Army — Don’t Panic … !

6th March, 2016.

You know, it’s been the weekend of my birthday: Friday, just gone, so you know.

AND Mother’s Day.

Which means that … 

Well … 

It’s been rather long.

And … ?

Well, Friday definitely saw a shirt with just a bit too much gorgonzola dip.

And today … ?

Well, today saw a staff meeting, this morning: I came in third in the staff competition, winning a small prize in the process.

And, this afternoons, in a sort of joint celebration of Mother’s Day, AND my birthday … ?

Me and my family … ?

With the mild sense of irony my family tends to occasionally exhibit, my family and I went to see Dad’s Army …
