Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 18th June, 2019

18th June, 2019.

Hmm … 

I think I’m going to have to redo that overnight test.

I have iffy lungs: and had a test, last week: to check my blood-oxygen levels, overnight.

Which was inconclusive.

So I had to put up another bit of kit, yesterday: to do a more thorough test.

The basic of it: in this photo?

Got strapped onto me at the hospital: leaving me to install the cannulas — the plastic tubes that get inserted into the nose — once I went to bed.

I have to admit, I felt like a pre-op Cyberman, going home.

And have to ALSO admit … I think I have a problem.

The whole idea of the kit is to check while your blood oxygen, while you’re asleep.

Which I couldn’t do.

I couldn’t get off: couldn’t do it.

Ended up angrily taking this mass of wiring off, WAY too early.

I think I’m going to have to see about alternatives …

Let’s move on, shall we?

Yesterday’s Teaser saw Olga*, Badwolf†, and Debbi‡ putting in their answers: with all three scoring five out of five.

Let’s see how everyone does with today’s questions, shall we?

Paul Eddington, 18 June 1927 – 4 November 1995.

And a song …

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

Have a good day.

*        Cheers for that, Olga!   I think I’m going to have issues, though: I really couldn’t sleep with all the kit on.   I’m going to have to have words, to see what we can do.

†      You’re right, Anne, that’s one way it could’ve gone: Bran being named king was a bit left field.   I thought Jon or Daenerys were dead certs.   Then the throne got melted.   Game of Thrones likes killing things!

‡        Yes, I remember it, Debbi: I think I’ve still got the draft version you asked me to check.   Want me deleting it?   I need the space!   As for the Loon … ?   What CAN I tell you … !   Apart from I’d’ve hated working on the film version of Tommy.   Him and Oliver Reed on the same set … ?   Ye gods!
