Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 14-6-2024 — Che.

14th June, 2024: Che.

Right … it’s Friday.

And I’ve got most of the medications I need.

I got ’em, yesterday.

But … ?

There’s always something, isn’t there?

It turns out that the Trulicity I was using … isn’t available.

From anywhere in town.

Apparently?

There’s manufacturing issues affecting it, and the alternatives.

Including Semaglutide, the wonder drug that’s the active ingredient in things like Ozempic and Wegovy.

Which means … ?

Right now, I’ve used my last Trulicity pen, this morning.

Frankly, until I have my next diabetic review — on Tuesday — I have no idea what to do … !

Bar sending an email!

~≈Ü≈~

Let’s move on, shall we?


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

Let’s see how everyone does with today’s questions, shall we?

Here they are, along with the How To, License and video.

Che Guevara.

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.

*        My Gods, they know how to get a crowd going, Olga§!   That last track — “Inana”? — is quite something: and there’s one hell of a horn riff in the first.   I’m not surprised they’re good with a crowd: their Wikipedia entry says they’ve been together since 1974.   That experience and craftsmanship — and sheer energy! — shows!

        Just as a guess?   Is ‘Companyia Elèctrica Dharma’ Catalan for the ‘Electric Dharma Company’?   At any rate?   I noticed the guitar player in the last song’s a southpaw.   But you knew I’d spot that!   (It’s a genuine left guitar: rather than a re-strung right handed one.   They tend to be pricey!)

†        Hello, Mum!

‡        Hmmm … You know, you can get frozen mashed potatoes in the UK, Debbi¶?   I don’t know if it’s appealing, or even available in the US … but would that be easy for you to make?   It strikes me it might be handy.

        Oh, remind me to tell you about Smash!

§        If you ever decide to wave a lighter about at a concert, Olga: make sure it’s a plastic one.   You can get your fingers burnt on an all-metal petrol lighter!

¶        Pointless trivia, Debbi: Susan Twist is in the last too episodes of this season of Doctor Who.   It only just hit me: that’s what they were sining about in “The Devil’s Chord”!
