Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 19th June, 2023.

19th June, 2023.

Right … it’s Monday … 

And?

I’m supposed to be at my usual Monday morning weight management class.

And want to look into the Job Centre: to chase down a cancelled meeting.

And may need to head for my GPs: as a result of heading for the Job Centre.

All that … whilst staying indoors to let the Gas Safety Inspector in … !

Heigh ho!

*        Hello, Mum!

†        It sounds like these festivals are putting the word around, Olga: “Get the paella started, lads: Dr Núñez Miret is on route!”   :D

        At any rate?   €2000 to €3000?   That averages out what, about £2100?   That’s certainly too much: especially if the social housing market in Spain’s anything like the UK’s.   My landlord’s allowed to charge the market rate for housing: but they get a lot of subsidies!   And I know for a fact a neighbour — in a different building — is paying a lot less than me.   I’m on £675 (~€790)for a one bedroom flat, as an example!   Considerable less!

        Oh, are you having trouble with your site, Olga?   The https://www.authortranslatorolga.com one?   Only it’s offering speed reading tips … 

‡        That it does, Debbi!   Oh, technically?   The Tsar’s daughters were all Grand Duchesses.   I believe it’s an equivalent rank: but not exactly the same!
