Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 29th April, 2022.

29th April, 2022.

Right … 

I picked up some more medications, yesterday.

I’m on a few: the older I get, the iller I get.

At any rate … ?   I’ve been provision put on a course of injections: to help, both with my weight, and with the diabetes I suffer with.

A couple of weeks early: I’ve not yet had the training that shows me how to inject myself.

On top of that?

The stuff has a worrying amount of side effects!

Thankfully, it’s a short course: or, at least, I’ve only got five does.

I’m just hoping I only need to be on for a while.

Here’s hoping.

This is turning into a regular thing …

The quizmaster’s decisions about scores are final.

Thank you for coming: have a good day.

*        I can imagine, Olga: I’ve HAD the odd cold shower, and it’s not nice!   Which reminds me, I possibly need to get my boiler checked: there’s a bit of a noise coming from somewhere … !

        Yeah, I figured it might not show up: it’s on Vimeo, the site has — from the little I know — some tighter restrictions for international viewers.   The documentary was called Choosing to Die: and shows a still fairly functional Terry accompanying one man to the Dignitas clinic in Switzerland.   It’s powerful stuff.   (I don’t know if your interviewee would have seen it: but word may have got out.)

†        Hello, Mum!

‡        People’s ages can surprise me, Debbi.   Did you hear of an Australia cricketer called Shane Warne^ª, who died recently?   He died on my birthday, this years: and was only 18 months younger than me.   Something like that brings it home, doesn’t it?

^        The Australian government gave the man a state funeral, Debbi.   Or a state memorial, I should say.   I think that tells you quite what Australia thought of both Shane, and the sport he represented.

ª        He wasn’t exactly Cricket’s equivalent to Babe Ruth — that’s possibly Sachin Tendulkar — but he was one of the games best known players.
