Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 2nd August 2023.

2nd August, 2023.

Right … 

It’s now Wednesday: the day after a busy Tuesday!

Quite a bit happened, yesterday.

For a start … ?

I finally got the letter about my application for Personal Independence Payment.

It’s been turned down!

So … ?

Of course I’ve put in for a MRN, or Mandatory Reconsideration Notice: the start of an appeal, in other words.

How that will go, I don’t know.

I do know that — when I was making the call to put that through — I got a call from my GP.

With some good news.

Apparently?

My blood sugars are down.

From 57, last time, to 53, this time.   (Some seven per cent, if that’s how you measure it.)

It’s a shame the new medication hasn’t helped shift as much weight: but the blood sugars dropping?

Is good.

On top of that … ?

On top of that, my GP’s also told me the surgery has a ‘social prescriber’: someone who could help with my PIP claim.

I’m expecting a call from them, on Monday.

Quite what they can do … ?

I don’t know.

But hopefully, they should be able to help.

I’m also very aware my nephew, Jude, was over, yesterday.

Yes: we’ve done another video.

And I have to admit to a certain amount of pride, there: he edited this one, himself.

I seem to be having an effect!

Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 2-8-2020: Peter O’Toole.

2nd August, 2020.

You’ve noticed it, too, haven’t you … ?

It’s Sunday!

Which means … ?   Frankly, that it’s going to be quiet.

And that I’ll be heading to my family’s for dinner.

Even though the brakes have gone on, Lockdown’s eased enough to have an afternoon out.

Hopefully?

I’ll be able to tear my nephew for long enough to interest him in The Mandalorian!

Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 2-9-2016

Oh, now that’s ridiculous.

I work for a living.

Or, at least, I try to.

And … ?

Will, I’ve seen my hours for next week.

‘Bloody Ridiculous,’ is putting it mildly.

I’ve got eleven hours.

I’m contracted for sixteen.

And been rota’ed for between 20 and 24.

Understandably?

I’m not a happy bunny: I’m an unhappy bunny intent on having a word with his boss.

And I’m an unhappy bunny thinking about the term ‘Constructive Dismissal.’
