Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 3rd February 2023 Teaser.

3rd February, 2023.

Yes: it’s Friday.

And stuff will be occurring.

Not least of which … ?

Is the simple fact I’ve got my usual fortnightly meeting with my Job Centre case worker.

I managed to persuade my case worker to put it an hour: so that I could stay, to let in a repair man.

Who contacted me, yesterday.

They’re now turning up on the 17th!

~≈∑≈~

Talking of dates … ?

A few months ago — more than a few, by now — I put for extra help from the Job Centre: fully expecting a long haul.

Yesterday?

I got a letter from the court service: telling me a phone hearing had been scheduled in for 14.45 on the 8th March.

But, thankfully?

They’ve agreed to postpone it.

I’ve a doctor’s appointment on the 15th March: and wanted time to get extra evidence from her, and to send it off.

Here’s hoping.

*        Hello, Mum!

†        Yeah, sorry about yesterday’s Question 4, Olga: I was struggling for inspiration, there!   And I’m glad I could help with Lew Dawson!   I swear, I worked for someone just like Ada.

        Funny old thing: I googled for ‘Merlina’.   And got the Mexican version of that dance routine!

‡        My pleasure, Debbi!   (If they release the cheaper versions of these box sets in the US?   They MAY be worth looking at.   My only problem?   Is that — with three of the nine Season Two stories —   there’s no Behind the Sofa watch along.   That’s disappointing.)
