Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 28th January 2023.

28th January, 2023.

Right … it’s Saturday.

And?

Well, I was hoping for warmer weather: it’s been nippy, so far.

But?   I’ve just checked the BBC’s Weather page for the area.

It’s still looking cool!

Bless him, Piers — the reporter I talked to on Thursday — has come through.

And posted his article on the Warm Home Discount on both Essex Live, and This Is Local London.

Aside from the fact I really don’t photograph, well?

I think it’s a good pair of pieces.

I can only hope something can be done as a result.

If you can hit share, I’d appreciate it.

*        Hello, Mum!

†        Well, the articles’ went through, Olga.   Hopefully, it starts something!   (I’ve JUST shared the pair of them in a couple of groups I’m in.   We’ll have to see what that does.)

‡        It is, Debbi, it is.   Saying that?   There was a whiff of scandal about David Eddings.   Not as severe as the accusations about Marion Zimmer Bradley, but there, none-the-less.

        (“I knocked off the door of the Soviet Embassy.   When they answered, I said ‘Is Len in?’”   I’ll get my coat.)
