Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 10-4-2018: 100 Days.

10th April, 2018.

Yep: I officially had a long day, yesterday.

A lot of which?

Was spent at Basildon Hospital.

Having a CT scan, to check on my arterial function.

I’ll actually get the letter making the results appointment, some point soon.

The scan, itself … ?   Was quite an experience.

Having a CT scan of your chest, abdomen and pelvis with contrast from Health and Care Videos on Vimeo.

Certainly, the iodine dye mentioned in the videos was interesting.

You get a definite warm feeling.   Especially around the groin region.

Right now … ?

Right now, it’s something I’m grateful I’ve had.

I can start looking forward to seeing my health improve: although I realise this will take time.

Right now, thought?

I have to admit to having an early night, last night.

It was a long day …

J. Paul Getty.

And a song …

Today’s questions will be answered in tomorrow’s Teaser.

Have a good day.

*        Oh, blimey, I can remember setting up my landline, Olga‡: don’t even get me started on switching mobiles!   Sounds like you’ve got quite a weekend ahead.   And probably more than one!

†        That is is, Debbi‡: that’s before you see Winona Ryder’s Woody Allen routine.   I lost count of how many times she says “WHAT!?!?!?!   Are you crazy?”   On OTHER fronts … ?   I don’t think they quite got Dungeons and Dragons — in play — quite right: but every game group was different.   (And that’s before you look at other role playing games.)

‡        Sorry about the wandering font sizes, today: I’ve used Drag and Drop, rather than Copy and Paste, for some parts of the text
