Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 4-2-2021: World Cancer Day.

4th February, 2021.

It’s officially a Thursday … 

And … ?

I have to admit to a certain amount of boredom.

After all, this week’s seen a busy couple of days.

Still, there’s a possible upside: I had a meeting with my Work and Health case worker, yesterday.

There’s possibly a job available: working from home.

We’ll have to see how that goes.

I suspect I’m going to need to ask for a Windows based PC, at some point.

*        Never knew you were married, Trevor!

†        It’s happened, before, Olga.   I think it was the TSB bank that had exactly that issue!  Or someone did!   I know the TSB site was down for weeks, when they were bought out.

‡        Hello, Mum

^        Oh, Yes!   At any rate, Debbi, I’ve had my name forwarded for a potential home working job.   I’ve a nasty feeling I’ll need PC for it!

ª        I’ll keep my fingers crossed for you, Edith: hopefully, you won’t snowed under!  (Oh, cheers for the tune!   And well done: five out of five, today!)
