Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 4th June, 2019

4th June, 2019.

Yes: it’s official.

I’ve done the test.

Basically?

I had to pick up a piece of kick from Basildon Hospital: a thing called an oximeter, if I’ve got the name right.

You have to wrap the watch like thing around your wrist overnight, whilst wearing the attached thimble on your finger.

The idea is to check your blood oxygen levels, over night.

Hopefully?

I hope I’ve carried it out, correctly.

I’d hate to have to do it again … 

As I’d have to go back to Basildon, twice … 

Again!

~≈§≈~

Oh, just as a QUICK thought?

I’ve just seen the stats for the new MacPro.

Twenty-eight cores?

Wheels?

Ye GODS, I want one!

Anyone got several thousand pounds spare?

~≈§≈~

“My father was brought up in a theatrical background, just as I was, and his father instilled in him the need to do everything properly and take responsibility for money.”

Sean Pertwee, born 4 June 1964.

And a song: one co-written by saxophonist, Roger Ball …
