Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 10-10-2022 — Jose Chung’s From Outer Space

10th October, 2022.

Yep: it’s Monday.

And … ?

I’ve a phone call from a physiotherapist this morning — at 8:50, in case the Teaser’s delayed — and a meeting with my job centre case worker, this afternoon … and I’ve got my nephew, Jude, over, after that.

So … ?

Busy … ?

Yes: and possibly noisy … !

As I write?

As I write, highly civilized human beings are flying over the Ukraine: trying to kill people.

Literally.

The bombing started around six AM, UK time: and is felt to be in response to the bombing of the bombing of a bridge from Russia to the Crimea.

I can only hope those bombings haven’t killed President Zelenskyy.

That would be one hell of a blow to Ukraine.

Just as a final thought … ?

You’ll remember I’ve recently seen the 2022 version of Hellraiser.

Last night, something struck me as being deep … but could just me reading to much into the text.

At one point?   Riley, the main character, turns around to Pinhead/The Priest, and refuses to have anything more to do with events: says “I’ve done enough.”

To which the Priest replies “Enough is a myth.”

Riley’s a recovering addict, and been through a twelve step programme … and would be very familiar with the old saying read out at meetings: “One’s too many, two’s never enough.”

Something reiterated in many of AA’s publications.

Was that deliberate?   I don’t know.

But, lord … it struck me as subtle.

Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 10-10-2019: In Outer Space

10th October, 2019.

Right … 

I’m off to hospital, today.

Right at the moment, I’ve a CPAP machine: a pump that helps me breathe at night.

It’s helpful: I think I’ve had generally better sleep since using it.

Although the mask I have to wear overnight is … distinctly unflattering … !

Hopefully, though?

I’ll be able to keep hold the thing.

It’s useful.

Have you ever been to the Glastonbury Festival?

I haven’t: I’ve never been able to afford it.

I do try and keep an eye on some of the televised acts, when the BBC has them.

Especially the Sunday night Legends slot.

Next year’s has just been announced.

It’s Diana Ross.

I’m impressed.   Ms Ross is one of the authentic legends.

The only person bigger would’ve been Aretha: and she’d be a tough one to book.
