Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 7-4-2023 — World Health Day.

7th April, 2023.


It’s officially official: I have no money in the bank.

I know for sure … because I’ve just double checked, three times.
  • Zilch.
  • Nowt.
  • Nothing.
Or, as my bank puts it … ?

Nil.

Not … a thing … 

So you know … ?

I attended a phone tribunal, last week: to see if I qualified for extra financial help.

And am due the letter about the decision is due, today.

I’m frustrated: at the lack of any cash … and the lack any information.

The frustration … ?

Is getting a bit much.

Let’s move on, shall we?

Yesterday’s Teaser saw Mum* and Debbi† putting in their answers: with Debbi scoring five out of five, and Mum on four.

From the relevant UN Body’s page on World Health Day.
And a vaguely medical playlist …


Today’s questions will be answered in tomorrow’s Teaser.

Decisions about scores are final.

Thank you for coming: have a good day.




*        Oh, tell me about it, Debbi!   It’s the not hearing that’s as frustrating as anything else!
        I think that’s the most we can ask, isn’t it?   But he’s going to be … well, grieving: with all the word implies … 

        Hello, Mum!

  1. You do know that today is a bank holiday and that the Royal Mail do not deliver on Bank holidays. So do not expect your letter today.

I love it when someone comments. But, having had anonymous comments I feel may be libellous, actionable or just plain offensive, over the years?

I’d appreciate you* leaving your name — with a link to your website or social-media profile†, for preference — before you post a comment.

Should you choose to use a pseudonym/name, I’d appreciate it if that name were to be polite and inoffensive. I’d rather you kept it clean, and relatively grown up. Comments left with a pseudonym will be posted at my discretion: I really prefer a link.

Contentious, actionable or abusive posts left anonymously will not be posted. Nor will comments using offensive pseudonyms or language, or that are abusive of other commenters.

Thank you.

*   I know many value their online privacy. I respect that. But hope you respect my wish to see who’s commenting on my blog: and my wish for you to introduce your self to me, and to your fellow commentors.

†   Your Facebook, X/Twitter, Blogger, Instagram, TikTok or LinkedIn profile are acceptable. I also like seeing folks webpages.
