Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 5th May, 2021.

5th May, 2021.

It’s true!

I’m expecting a phone call!

The first of a few, this week!

And, once I’ve had it, I shall hope, skip and jump, all around the room!

Maybe not … !

It is only a phone call, after all.

The (mild) irony of the call?   Is that it’s from a physiotherapist: one helping me with my knee.

One call you’d expect to be in person …

Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 4-5-2021: Audrey

4th May, 2021

Did I mention I like snooker?

I like snooker … so you know.

And was watching the final of the World Championship, last night.

I went to bed: when Mark Selby was ahead, 17-13, against Shaun Murphy.

With the thought then Selby would’ve won, by the time I got up.

Lo, and behold … ?

He had.

I love being able to do that …

Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 3rd May, 2021

3rd May, 2021.

It’s officially official: today is — in the UK — a public holiday.

Which means … ?   Well, not a lot, from where I am.

It’s another day, and another — ha! — dollar.

Saying that … ?

At least the snooker World Championship’s on.

Mark Selby’s leading Sean Murphy 10-7, at the moment.

In other words?

It’s not over yet.

Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 2nd May, 2021.

2nd May, 2021.

Right … 

You’ll remember that it’s Local Election time in the UK: with the elections themselves being held, this Thursday.

And that I’m not especially happy to get tons of election leaflets: especially considering I’ve got a great big ‘Vote Green’ poster.

With effects to ask candidates — Councillor Karen Chilvers in particular — not yo put leaflets through my door, being dismissed.

Rather disdainfully, I felt: frankly, that gives me another reason not to vote for her.   (I won’t voting the Tory candidate, Will Russell: he, at least, was politer about the leaflet situation.   I’m not going to be voting for the Reform Party, either: the impression I’ve formed is that they’re far more right wing than they claim*.   And that voting for anything that Nigel Farage founded is something sensible people should avoid like the plague.)

At ANY rate … ?

I actually managed to bump into the Lib-Dem activist who was delivering to the remaining properties in the area, yesterday.

And asked her to pass on the message: NOT to deliver to my address.

I can only hope that gets passed on: and sticks.

Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 1st May, 2021.

1st May, 2021.

You know … you can TELL we’re getting close to Election Day.

The date’s getting nearer to 6th May.

And I’m getting increasingly annoyed.

By the amount of leaflets coming through my door.

I’ve had one Conservative one: while I wouldn’t vote for them, the local candidate’s friendly enough to take my request — to not put them through my letter box — to heart.

The local Liberal Democrats, on the other hand?

I asked they’re representative if they could pass on the message: to not post at my address.

That, frankly, didn’t work: as I had another leaflet from them yesterday.

I’ve complained: after all, having volunteered for them, I know they have — or had — a list of addresses in the area who didn’t want literature.

Frankly?   Let’s just say I got at least one rather dismissive reply, from local Councillor, Karen Chilvers.

I’m glad I’m voting Green.

That — and her presence on the planning committee that screwed up the local mobile phone mast — means I’ve made aa good decision.
