Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 1-5-2025 — The Illuminati

1st May, 2025: The Illuminati.

It has to be said … I’m annoyed at someone.

And, no, before you ask: I’m not saying who or why.

But I can safely say I went for a nice healthy stroll, last night.

As I’ve found that’s a good way of calming down: a better way — for me — than having a beer.

That’s not a safe option for me.

~≈🍺≈~

Right at the moment … ?

I have a 4k copy of The Terminator, copying onto my system.

I’m pleased.

I don’t think the database I’ve had to install helped: instead, I think the information dumps I sent in helped to update the software’s relevant decryption keys.

Whatever’s happened?

I’m pleased: at least I’ve got a good start to the day.

Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 30th April 2025.

30th April, 2025.

Did I mention my nephew was here, yesterday?

My nephew, Jude, was here, yesterday.

Yes: he’s uploaded more Mikey videos.

Jude’s still mourning, I think.

I do know he’s planning to do more for his regular channel, next week.

That should be something to see!

~≈👦≈~

Oh, did I mention series two of Andor is slowly being released?

More episodes turned up, yesterday.

So far … ?

It’s looking good: although various characters and scenes remind me of all sorts of things.

Mostly the Spanish Civil War, and the French Resistance!

Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 29th April 2025.

29th April, 2025.

Right … 

It’s the day after.

“What?”, I hear you cry.

It’s the day after yesterday.

Which possibly means a lot: but there you go.

~≈⚡️≈~

I do know regular reader, Olga, lives in Spain: and got hit by yesterday’s power cuts.

She’s safe: as power is being re-connected.

Quite why the Cut happened?

No one seems sure.

I’d love to know what caused it: as, I suspect would Olga, and the rest of the Iberian Peninsula.

But … ?

I suspect it’s going to be a while before we find out …

Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 28-4-2025 — Sir Terry Pratchett.

28th April, 2025: Sir Terry Pratchett.

OK: it’s now officially a Monday: and it’s not a bank holiday!

And … ?

I’m up early, for my weight management meeting.

Hopefully, I’ve lost something: but can also look to next week’s bank holiday.

That’s another hour in bed … !

~≈🛌≈~

Oh … there’s local elections on Thursday.

Part from in areas where they’ve been postponed: because the relevant councils are being restructured.

Because it’s in Essex … ?

Brentwood’s is one of those elections.

Right at the moment … ?

I’m not sure whether to be worried, or not!

Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 27th April 2025.

27th April, 2025.

What with one thing and another … ?

YouTube can be strange.

Quite it’s doing this, I don’t know: but … ?

It’s throwing videos of people dancing to M’s “Pop Muzik” at me.

Why … ?

I don’t know.

It’s possibly one of those things … !

~≈▶️≈~

At any rate … ?

I managed to catch “The Well”, yesterday’s episode of Doctor Who.

And … ?

It’s rather good: although I don’t know if my reviews manage to catch that.

Heigh-ho!

~≈🩻≈~

As a final thought … ?

I occasionally have a word floating around my head.

Usually?   It’s the word “yurt”.

Today?

It’s “dicastery”: a department of the Curia, the body that runs the Catholic Church.

I’m happy.

Because I know the word’s floating around my head, after the recent death of the Pope.

So that’s something!
