Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 12th September 2023.

12th September, 2023.

It’s Tuesday: and … ?

I’m expecting both my nephew: hopefully, we won’t have to walk far, to get dinner.

Before I do that … ?

I’m due to lodge an appeal against a decision by the Department of Work and Pensions: and spent a long time on the phone, yesterday, trying to start the thing off.

Right at the moment, though?

The relevant site’s having issues … 

That’s frustrating!

*        Hello, Mum!   

†        The QI Test?   That’s a new one on me, Olga!   At any rate, the show’s still running: I don’t know if you’ll be able to catch it!

        At any rate … ?   The meeting went well: although my weight’s up, slightly, again.   I think I’m going to need to have a word with my GP: the Trulicity’s weight loss properties seem to have been overhyped!

‡        Will do, Debbi!   And you can breathe easily, for the moment: I’ve got no ten question sets planned for now!   (I’ve provisionally pencilled in a pair for the 23rd and 24th of November: Dr Who’s 60th, and The Colour of Magic’s 40th.)
