Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 6th November 2025.

6th November, 2025.

Right, then … !

It’s officially Thursday … !

And … ?

Amazon get worse!

They’ve officially refunded the delivery charge on a package that was due on Satuday … but that turned up on Sunday.

But … ?

They’ve told me, this morning, that a final package, one due, today … is now due on the 15th.

Nine days after its due date.

Why?

I have no idea … !

~≈¥≈~

I have to admit: I’m on an NHS waiting list: for testing for Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, for ADHD.

Apparently?

I’m due for an appointment in November of 2026.

So?

Something that caught my attention were news reports: that tell us many specialist ADHD services are closing their waiting lists.

Or, at least, tightening the criteria to be added to them.

Quite how that will affect me?

I don’t know.

But?

I’m understandably concerned.

Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 6th November 2024.

9th November, 2024.

Hmmm … 

I keep an eye on politics: mostly on UK politics, as that’s where I live, but also on international politics.

So … ?

I’m very aware — as I write — that Donald Trump is winning this year’s US presidential election.

I can only think that’s going to be bad: as Trump is no friend of the UK*.

~≈🇬🇧≈~

On a personal front … ?

My new washing machine has been installed.

Granted, it’s cost what — for me — is a small fortune.

And the old model damaged because of my stupidity.

But … ?

It’s nice to have it in place: and be able to clean my undies!

~≈🧺≈~

Did I mention I tried selling on an old computer of my sister’s?

But didn’t?

In all honesty, the thing seemed to be stuck in a permanent boot-loop: one I couldn’t clear.

However … ?

I did manage to break the thing up: and salvage the machine’s RAM and SSD.

The latter’s been put into an enclosure, and securely wiped.

And can be re-purposed.

Here’s hoping it can be put to good use†.

Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 6th November, 2019

6th November, 2019.

Yep: phone lines are a problem.

Seriously.

I’ve got an ongoing issue with my boiler: you’ve possibly realised that, if you’ve been following me for a while.

I had a senior engineer out, last week: to assess whether the thing repaired or replaced.

He recommendation?   Was to phone my landlords, last Friday: he’d be recommending both, and I’d need to talk to them, to see which they’d authorise.

I phoned, Friday.

To find my landlord’s phones were down until Tuesday.

So, of course, I phoned, on Tuesday.

Yesterday.

To find they were still down … as they were having technical issues.

I’m thinking this could take a while …
