Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 9-4-2025 — Paul Robeson.

9th April, 2025: Paul Robeson.

Right then … 

Yesterday, I officially had a visit from an occupational therapist: from Essex County Council.

They were very efficient: and, hopefully, will be able to help with the cupboard situation.

And — possibly — help with some deep cleaning.

It was also — on a personal front — something of a pleasure.

Turns out the therapist was a bit of a Mac fan!

~≈🍎≈~

On other fronts?

It’s something of a busy week.

As I have a meeting with my Job centre case worker, today.

Thankfully, by video!

That’s a lot easier on my knees!

Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 9th April, 2024.

9th April, 2024.

It’s official: it’s Tuesday.

And I’ll possibly turn the radio off, at some point.

There’s only so much of the Today programme a body can deal with!

At any rate … ?

I — hopefully — will be looking after my nephew, this afternoon.

If I know Jude … ?

There’s a possibility of chicken nuggets: and further adventures of Mikey the rabbit!

Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 9th April 2023.

9th April, 2023.

It’s Easter Sunday.

And frankly?

It’s a time for … well … avoiding chocolate, if you’re a type two diabetic.

Which is a shame: I’m found of the odd Yorkie Bar.

But there you go!

At any rate … ?

I’ve got the radio off: as today’s Sunday service is a bit too High Anglican for my taste.

Instead … ?

I’ve got some Dread Zeppelin.

Elvis-impersonating, reggae-tinged, versions of Led Zeppelin tunes match my mood far more closely …

~≈🪇≈~

At any rate … ?

It’s the day after I posted my review of ‘Surrender’: the eighth episode of Star Trek Picard’s third and final series.

I hope you enjoy it.

Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 9th April, 2022.

9th April, 2022.

Yes: it’s Saturday.

And I suspect that I’m going to be mildly bored.

Or, at least, twiddling my thumbs.

I’ve had a busy week: so a Saturday where nothing’s happening — bar writing quizzes and finishing of a review — seems … 

Well, par for the course …

Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 9th April, 2021.

9th April, 2021.

It’s officially the case … that I’m thinking about watching a movie, tonight.

Thinking about it!

I might not: I might just end up reading a book, again.

Frankly, The Lathe of Heaven is coming to a climax: and Johnny Alpha’s JUST made sure the incredibly evil Sadan The Demon Maker can no longer cause problems!

It’s amazing what you can do with a second hand, lead lined, nuclear fall out shelter.

~≈Ê≈~

Did I mention I had a phone call, yesterday?

I shouldn’t’ve done: as I actually had two.

One from my new Job Centre case worker.

Which went well, although she wanted to put me on a Work and Health scheme, similar to the one I’m already on.

I think my previous case worker should maybe have added that to my notes!

The other call?   Was from O2: my mobile phone provider.

To be frank?   I was angling for more compensation: given that the local mobile phone mast is STILL not up.

I had no luck.

O2 are taking the line that they’ve taken every step they can to restore normal service.

And that they can do no more, until Brentwood Council approves their planning applications.

Hmmm … 

~≈Ê≈~

Just as a final thought?

I’ve just heard on the Today programme, that Laurie Anderson’s to re-release her seminal Big Science LP.

Cue the music … !

~≈Ê≈~

Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 9-4-2017

Oh, well, that’s a result … 

I went to work, yesterday.   And I’m back, again, today.

All good.

Ever better, though?

Was the phone call I got on the way to work.

From the shop repairing my sister’s laptop.

Seems they’ve managed to replace the graphics card: both ahead of the predicted time, and on budget.

So Ruth and I won’t get charged any extra.

All I have to do now?

Is pick the thing up.

Oh … 

And talk my sister into buying some sort of back up solution …
