Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 9th May, 2021

9th May, 2021.

It’s a Sunday … and I think it’s going to be quiet.

Quiet …

And possibly boring … !

We’ll have to see.

Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 8th May, 2021.

8th May, 2021.

It’s official: Brentwood West, the council ward I live in in?

Now has William Russell, a Conservative, as councillor: and has rejected Karen Chilvers, the Liberal Democrat councillor.

I’d’ve preferred a Green Councillor, and couldn’t vote Tory if you paid me.   But Wil’s pleasant enough.

I’m just grateful Karen Chilvers is out of her post: she, it seems, is the person responsible for organising leaflet deliveries in the area.

Something I’m distinctly angry about, having had three very unwanted leaflets, over the past few weeks.

That … ?

And the fact she was on the Council planning committee that made a mess of the local mobile phone mast?

Makes me grateful she’s gone.

~≈¥≈~

As a brief extra thought … ?

I’m jobhunting, at the moment: and signed up to various job agencies websites.

One — called Indeed — sent me a warning email, this morning.

It seems one job I applied for — for a company calling itself Rapid Recruit — has been flagged by Indeed’s security team: and a message sent out to any one that’s applied.

Warning us to NOT hand over any further details.

And that we should not pay for a job.

Sound like whoever’s using the Rapid Recruit name is just a little suspicious …

Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 7-5-2021: Vladimir.

7th May, 2021.

Yes: it’s official: my nephew, Jude, was over.

Which was definitely an enjoyable afternoon.

Especially when we found this video: 

Hopefully?

We’ll be able to catch up, next time.

It’s at a critical point in the match!

~≈‡≈~

I take it you follow the news?

I do.

And, like many of us, are shocked when a school shooting occurs in the US.

And usually felt it couldn’t get much worse: until this morning.

When news came through that a schoolgirl, aged around 11 or 12 — not that much older than Jude — shot three people at her school in Idaho.

The USA is a civilised, technologically advanced, country: my two US regulars, Debbi and Edith, are testament to that.

But it’s constitutionally backed gun laws, gun laws that allow a twelve year old child to shoot people at her school?

Need changing.

Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 6th May, 2021

6th May, 2021.

Yes: it’s officially the day when two things are pencilled in.

Firstly?   I’ve got a Job Centre meeting with my case worker, today: rather than yesterday.

Mostly where she managed to re-schedule it: to get around yesterday’s physiotherapist meeting.

So that’s something to look forward to.

Secondly … ?

It’s Election Day: England’s voting for loads of local councils — including ones delayed from last year — Scotland’s voting for the Scottish Parliament, Wales has Welsh Send elections.

Northern Ireland has the day off … 

Frankly?   I’m going Green, again.

Although, as they’re not standing in the Police Commissioner elections?   I might just spoil my vote.

We’ll see.

For All Mankind — Series 2 Episode 5 — The Weight — A Review

4th May, 2021.

It’s got to be said: Tuesday night TV is getting to be a tradition.

For me, at any rate.

I job hunt in the morning, I do whatever else needs doing, then I have dinner.

Chicken stew, if you’re asking.   And a baked spud.

The stew’s not bad: but needs work, I think.   Or more carrots.

Or different stock, possibly.

Maybe some bacon.

At any rate: once I get dinner eaten, I’m ready to watch another episode of whatever series I’m following.

In this case?   Episode five of the second series of For All Mankind.

I’ll tell you more about it, tomorrow night.

Assuming I can make sense of my notes, that is!
