Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 26-7-2026 — Tom Lehrer

26th July, 2026: Tom Lehrer.


OK, it’s Sunday.

Which means that yesterday was Saturday, and the day I had a second haircut in the space of a fortnight.

Why … ?

The last time I had one, I used a different barbers: as the regular place I go was shut: a much deserved holiday.

I wasn’t especially pleased with it.

So?

As I had some cash, and my usual place was re-opened?

I had another.

I think Daniels have done their usual sterling job!

~≈💈≈~

Oh, did I mention I’m thingummy do-dah wossname … ?

Rather fond of the work of writer, William Gibson, in other words!

So … ?

I’m looking forward to AppleTV’s upcoming TV version of Gibson’s Neuromancer.

I caught the trailer, this morning: and, going by that … ?


The show is due for release on 22nd January, next year.

I’m looking forward to it.

I don’t think it’s accurate to the text: but … ?

It does look entertaining.

And they look like they’ve got Molly right … !

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 — 6-3-2023 — The Periodic Table.

6th March, 2023: The Periodic Table.


Yes: it’s officially Monday.

And?   Presents have turned up: after Mum dropped them off.

Thanking you, everybody!

I’ve ended up with the complete Torchwood blu-ray box set, and I Am The Law: a (hopefully) digestible examination of how the Dredd … predicted the future.

We’ll have to see about that: I still think the only thing that’s done that, is a little film called Brainstorm.

~≈Ç≈~

At any rate: it’s Monday.

Which means … ?

I’m off to the Job Centre for my fortnightly meeting with my case worker.

Hopefully?

It’ll go well.

I can, at least, tell him I’ve got a date for my hearing.

That’s going to be fun …

Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 9th April, 2019

9th April, 2019.


Yep: it’s going to be a long, quiet day, today.

One where I’ve actually got little to do.

I’ll manage: of course I will.

But the day I find a job?

The day I get the good news I’ve been hired for something?

Can’t come a day too soon!

~≈§≈~

Something that DID put a make yesterday a bit better: and got a mention in last night’s Westworld review?

Remember me mentioning that I had a visit for a repairman due, to sort my cupboard door out?

Due between eight and one?

He actually turned up any quarter past nine: just as I was finishing yesterday’s post, and publishing on line.

And had the job done, in side of ten minutes.

AND rehung the cupboard doors under my kitchen sink.

That went well!

Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 10-2-2017

Ohhh, but that’s better … 

Yep: yesterday, saw me have — wait for it — a day off!

OK, I didn’t do much more than have a stroll, do some writing, and catch some TV.

The one question I do have?

Is why on Earth — this morning — do I have I Got It From Agnes ear worming it’s way through my head?

Blowed if I know.

All I can do is pass it on!

The Daily Teaser — 25-2-2015

Bleugh … !

Late night working’s a killer, sometimes … !

No, really … !

I actually got to sleep about half past one: after finishing at 10·30.

You would not BELIEVE how time flies, when texting a friend, late at night.

AHEM … !
