Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 29-7-2026 — Eunomia

29th July, 2026: Eunomia.

OK … bloody Amazon … !

I’ve got another box of diet colas on order: which was supposed to be delivered, yesterday.

And is now coming today, for some reason.

Why?

I don’t know: but I’ve sent off an annoyed email … again … !

~≈🏬≈~

Oh … and I’ve got an earworm!

BA Robertson’s “Knocked it Off”.

Why … ?

I don’t know.

But if I get a chance, I’ll put something on repeat to get rid of it!

Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 28th July 2026.

28th July, 2026.

Late nights … 

We all get them, don’t we … ?

I (almost) had one last night.

I was just getting ready for bed … and then noticed the little red dot on my System Settings, the little red dot that told me I had an available update.

Given I wanted to sleep … ?

I decided to leave it: for now.

That bed of mine looked comfy!

~≈🛌≈~

It turns out The Times ran an article: telling us news I’m interested in.

It seems the Prime Minister, Andy Burnham, is contemplating reforming the election system.

To introduce both compulsory voting — with a £10 fine — and a ‘None of the Above’ option to the ballot.

I don’t like the idea of compulsory voting: it means we, the voter, cannot ignore an election if we don’t want to take part in it.

I don’t like the idea of compulsory voting: that earns you a fine.

For me, £10 is a few days worth of electricity, a few days worth of gas, a bag of frozen sausages, and some potatoes.

So?

No: I don’t want to see compulsory voting.

But putting a ‘None of the Above’ option on the ballot?

Is something I’ve supported for years … 

That, or spoiling one’s vote, are very good ways of improving a ballot.

Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 27th July 2026.

27th July, 2026.

It’s Monday, again … !

So, of course, I’m off to my weekly weigh-in.

Hopefully?

I’ll’ve lost a little more weight: after losing half a kilo, last weeks.

We’ll have to see, won’t we?

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 — 25th July, 2026.

25th July, 2026.

OK … it’s now Saturday … and I could tell you about Amazon’s latest delivery disaster.

I won’t: beyond telling that, when I order three boxes of something, I expect them to turn up at the same time.

When I’ve paid a little extra to get everything in the morning, I expect to get everything in the morning: not get two in the morning, and one in the evening … after I’d sent a complaint email to the jeff@amazon.com address.

Ho … … hum … !

~≈🛒≈~

Just so you know … ?

I’ve finally finished my review of For All Mankind’s third episode.

I hope it makes sense!

~≈📽️≈~

I can’t help but notice that there’s wildfires in Spain and France: Madrid’s under serious threat, and parts of the Gironde are doing badly.

There’s wildfires in Scotland and Wales, too.

I live near a small patch of parkland that’s mostly used by dog walkers who — for the most part — don’t seem to smoke.

Something I’m thankful for: I’d hate to see a fag-butt triggered wildfire near me.

But, given the world seems more prone to wildfires than it did … ?

I’m very aware a fire could be started by anything.

And seriously hope it won’t.
