Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 8th October 2024.

8th October, 2024,

Right … I am officially up early: and feeling god-awful!

I’m supposed to have another opticians appointment, today.

But … ?

I’m humming and hawing about cancelling it, and rearranging it.

I am feeling … unpleasant: and think I have a cold.

I’ve also aware that — for my last hour or so in bed? Today and yesterday? — I was heading for the loo.

Every ten minutes or so.

If I’ve understood the medications I’m on, correctly?

That’s the fault of the Dapagliflozin I’m on.

It makes diabetics like me … wee even more!

OK, it’s doing me good … 

But I’d rather it didn’t, at that time of the morning!

Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 7-10-2024 — Cotton Eyed Joe

7th October, 2024: World Cotton Day.

Right, then: it’s Monday, again.

And, as ever?

I’m up early, so I can get to my weight management group.

Hopefully … ?

I’ll have carried on last week’s trend: and ?lost some weight!

Here’s hoping!

Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 6th October 2024.

6th October, 2024.

Right … it’s Sunday.

And … ?

And very aware you know what an ‘earworm’ is.

It’s a song — or parts of a song — that’s playing its way around your head: sometimes for no apparent reason.

I get those.

I’m also wondering what the term is for a word that’s stuck in your head.

Because, every-so-often, I get the word, ‘yurt’, stuck in my head: and, for no apparent Reaser, compelling me to use or mention it, somehow.

Why?

I have no idea.

But … ?

I want to know what a word like that’s called!

Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 5-10-2024 — It’s Monty Python’s Flying Circus.

5th October,  2024: Monty Python's Flying Circus.

It’s still official: I still haven’t received a payment from the Department of Work and Pensions.

I know: because I’ve been compulsively check my bank since the decision.

Saying that?

It’s Saturday: so it’s about what I was expecting.

It’s still frustrating to see, though!

~≈💷≈~

Oh, just as a confession: if this post seems a little delayed.

I’ve just found a game on Apple’s Arcade service called John Bottom.

It’s fun, addictive … 

And very reminiscent of an old ZX Spectrum game called Jumpin’ Jack … !

Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 4-10-2024 — Mexico

4th October, 2024: Mexico.

It’s officially official: I’ve checked my bank again.

And … ?

There’s still nothing in it!

Frankly?

I get the impression it’s going to take awhile … !

~≈₿≈~

It’s equally official: my nephew, Jude, was over, last night.

Amidst all the fun, games, onion rings and jokes about Tescos vans?

He’s managed to post another video.

Feel free to head to YouTube and hit the ‘Like’ button.

Just as a thought … ?

It’s been announced that Labour MP, Kim Leadbeater, is to introduce an assisted dying bill to the House of Commons on 16th October, this year.

I hope that law goes through: I think we need clarity on the matter.

Something Esther Rantzen emphasised, this morning, in an interview on the Today programme: as the law stands, anyone helping a loved one to die can be charged with murder.

Something else she emphasised?

Was that the decision to dies early was hers: rather than the government’s.

It was her choice: and no-one else’s.

I think she’d get support from Terry Pratchett, there: if no-on else.

“If I knew that I could die, I would live. My life, my death, my choice.”

Shaking Hands with Death, Sir Terry Pratchett.
