Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 27th May 2023

27th May, 2023.


Right … it’s officially Saturday … and I think I can put my feet up … 

Once I’ve finished this next batch of Teaser videos.

And done a few other bits and bobs.

One thing I know I did, yesterday?

Was sort out my pharmacists.

After getting some Ozempic from one in Warley, recently?

I found that the next set of meds I needed … ?   Had gone there … rather than to my usual chemist.

With that sorted, online?

I went into town, to poke my head around their door.

I wanted to check on the options for replacements for Ozempic*.

There’s a shortage, you know.

~≈Ç≈~

Let’s move on, shall we?

Yesterday’s Teaser saw Mum†, Olga‡ and Debbi¶ putting in their answers: with everyone scoring five out of five.

And a song …


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

Decisions about scores are final.

Thank you for coming: have a good day.




*        Apparently, the two options are Trulicity, and Victoza.   We’ll have to see what my GP advises.

†        Hello, Mum: see you, tonight!

        Oh, blimey, I remember seeing In Bruges, Olga: it’s an impressive piece of work!   I should sit down with again, I really should!
        I think it’s not just the resources, Olga: but also the speed the bullies can work at.   And the proliferation of groups that allow it.   It’s not quite the same, I know … but — from what I’m told — pro-and sites spread fast!

¶        I hope it interesting, Debbi!!   Oh, has Apple offered you the iMovie 10.3.6 update?   The one I had to roll back on, yesterday?   You MAY want to ignore, if they do: it gave me problems, yesterday!

Q1) Monday

Q2) Helsinki

Q3) Maryland

Q4) Saruman

Q5) Richard Matheson
Checking the meds, the second one (Victoza) seems more similar to the one you're taking, as it is also prescribed for obesity and seems to help with that, although it seems that there have been some issues with it. Side effects seem similar, although the first one has been on the market for longer, which means it is less likely to come up with nasty surprises. The second one is taken in combination with Metformin, always (the first one can also be combined with it and with other medications, it seems), so I guess it depends on what your regime is. Let's hope they sort out the issue of supply, especially if Ozempic suits you.
