Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 6th October 2026.

6th October, 2026.

OK: it’s my second early start of the week.

I was up, early, yesterday: as I usually spend Mondays at my weight management group.

No, I hadn’t lost weight, yesterday: but I hadn’t gained, either, so that’s good.

However: I’m up early, again, today.

Yep: I’m off to Brentwood Hospital, for my usual diabetic blood tests.

Hopefully, the results will mean I can put in for an increased dose of Mounjaro: that’s stuff’s handy … !

Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 5th October 2026.

5th October, 2026.

OK, that’s novel!

The BBC are reviving a TV show!

No, not Dr Who: that’s still at the initial stages of the tendering process.

No, they’ve announced they’re reviving PlaySchool.

That’s a turn up for the books.

And means two things.

The BBC are reviving because none of the original presenters have been done for sex crimes.

And possibly means Playaway will be next* … 

~≈🧑🏻‍🏫≈~

I find this out on a Monday.

On a day when I’m due to head for my weight management class.

I’m keeping my fingers crossed that the actual weigh-in goes well.

And that I’ve reversed the upward trend of the past few weeks.

Here’s hoping … !

Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 4-10-2026 — Lesotho

4th October, 2026: Lesotho.

“Weather we like it or not … ”

It’s an old children’s rhyme, if you didn’t know.

“Whether the weather be cold,

or whether the weather be hot.

Whether the weather, whatever the weather,

whether we like it or not!

That seems very appropriate … on a day when the BBC weather page told me it was misty, when I woke up … 

Only for me to look out of my front door: and find it wasn’t … !

Ho … … HUM … !

Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 3-10-2026 — Saint Francis of Assisi

3rd October, 2026: Francis of Assisi.

OK … movies … 

I’ve not actually reviewed one for a while: and really should.

But I have watched a couple.

Thursday?

I caught Coyote vs Acme, the story of what happens when an innocent coyote sues an evil mega corporation.

It’s a great deal of fun: and worth watching, I think.

By contrast?

Last night saw me watching — or trying to watch — the very well-spoken of Backrooms*.

It’s got to be said, Chiwetel Ejiofor’s US accent is pretty good.

He’s British, after all: we do knock out good actors!

The film, itself, though … ?

Was paced very slowly: at least for its initial twenty-five minutes or so.

That’s where I gave up on it†.

Like I say: Backrooms is very well made, very well spoken of … 

But really couldn’t hold my attention.

Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 2nd October 2026

2nd October, 2026.

Right … I’ve had my annual gas safety check!

And … ?

It has to be said, the chap that did it was both polite, quick and … 

Umm … 

Something else flattering: that I’ll add when my brain decides what to add!

About the only thing he forgot?

Was to re-pressurise the boiler, when he went.

It’s a good thing thing I knew how to do that: I’d’ve had no heating, this morning!
