Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 19th June 2026.

19th June, 2026.

I’m tempted to tell you I’m a potato.

Why … ?

If I knew that, I’d possibly know more about myself than I want to.

Identifying as a tuber — or otherwise — is possibly beside the point.

The point I’m trying to make … ?

Is that I’ve had my internet connection upgraded to a faster speed: and that, as a result, today’s videos has have taken a lot less time to upload.

That’s handy, appreciated … and something that will possibly impress my nephew, next time he’s here …

Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 18-6-2026 — Paul Eddington

18th June, 2026: Paul Eddington.

OK, it’s officially official.

I like using the word, ‘official’!

But then, you’d possibly worked that out!

At any rate?

My nephew, Jude, has released his latest video.

Feel free to officially hit the ‘Like’ button.

~≈#≈~

It’s also officially the case: that I’m expecting a BT engineer, today.

Or, at least, a BT-Openreach engineer.

He’s due to upgrade my internet line: so I get faster speeds.

I hope so: I’d hate to pay the extra few quid for nowt!

A few weeks ago, I got a new game controller for my Apple TV+: a Sony Playstation one, from the Apple website.

And … ?

Haven’t yet sold on the old one, the SteelSeries Nimbus+, as — as far as I knew — it couldn’t be charged.

Neither could the new one.

At least, neither could be charged by hooking them up to my Mac.

I got a charging block for the PS5 controller: which works nicely, I should add.

But, last night … ?

I tried plugging it into the Nimbus.

Which promptly started charging.

And is now — in theory — capable of being connected: back to the Apple TV, or to my Mac.

We’ll have to see.

But … ?

I’m tempted to sell it on to CeX, the next time I head to Romford …

Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 17th June 2026.

17th June, 2026.

Right … I’m officially off into town, again, today.

I have to pick up more medications.

Or, at least, medical kit: I have some lancets to pick up.

And I have to post some test results off: the results of my most recent bowel cancer screen.

Hopefully, I’ll be free of any polyps, this time around: the ensuing colonoscopy isn’t exactly fun.

But?

Both the test, and the procedure, help you cancer-free.

However uncomfortable the latter procedure is, it prevents any future problems.

That’s all to the good.

Did I mention I’ve caught the first three episodes of Apple TV series, Slow Horses?

I’ve caught the first three episodes of Apple TV spy drama, Slow Horses!

I don’t know that the terminology is accurate: MI5 staff are officers, rather than agents, as far as I know.

But it puts me in mind of Sir Terry Pratchett’s Watch novels.

Both are about a bunch of utter incompetents, utter whittles, as Sir Terry put it, who are redeemed over the course of an series.

And each is as entertaining as the other.

Although Sam Vimes … doesn’t fart like Jackson Lamb!

If you want a team leader you can call ‘flatulent’, the Gary Oldman character is a very good example!

Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 16th June, 2026.

16th June, 2026.

It’s Tuesday: and I’ve had a bad start to the day.

Pages, triggering another bout of overheating, audio components of a video project, vanishing, absolutely no birdsong … !

All that … ?

And I have to head up Warley Hill, to pick up some medication, buy sausages … and get bread … !

Combine that with the speed webpages seem to be loading, today?

Means the sooner my anxiety levels go down, the happier I’ll be!

Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 15th June 2026

15th June, 2026.

Right … it’s Monday … 

So, inevitably?

That means I’m back at my weight management meeting, today.

I’ll probably get some exercise, as well.

After all, I’ve gained weight over the past few weeks: and need to counter that.

That said?

I don’t know if picking up medication, and buying sausages in Sainbury’s, counts as exercise.

Ho … … hum … !
