Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 5-4-2023 — Passover.

5th April, 2023: Passover.

Right … I’m up early, again!

Yes: I’ve an early morning appointment.

Believe it or not, with a lifestyle coach!

Who’s taking over my weight management course.

Yes: I can appreciate they have a job to do.

And, yes: I hope it will go well.

But — equally — it’s always struck me the word ‘lifestyle’ is very silly.

Especially as I’ve only heard it frequently used by aerobics instructors, influencers … and people who teach pilates!

Oh … 

I had a phone tribunal, last Thursday: something long time readers will be aware of.

I still haven’t heard about the decision, as yet: so don’t know if it went my way, or not.

The letter is still due by Friday.

My bank account?

Equally as penniless.

Not knowing … ?   When I know people who were told on the day … ?

Is frustrating!
