Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 14-1-2025 — World Logic Day

14th January, 2025: World Logic Day.

Hmmm … 

Did I mention I was at my weight management meeting, yesterday?

I was at my weight management meeting, yesterday!

And … ?

I’ve not lost weight: but I’ve not gained, either.

I’ve mixed feelings about that: after all, my weight’s been on a downward trend for the past few weeks.

It’s … well … 

‘Hmmm … ’ seems to be the best way of putting it.

The next ten question set on 29th January: it’s about Desert Island Discs.


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



Decisions about scores are final.

Thank you for coming: have a good day.

*        Hello, Mum … !

†        I think the regulations need constant work, Olga.   There doesn’t seem to be much consistency over the years, I know that.   As I recall, when the original residents — me included — moved in, we were advised to get to a fire assembly point: ours was in the car park, next to the building.   We’re now advised to stay put: which, post-Grenfell, seems bad … 

        As for water … ?   I think we have one fire riser at each end of the street: but couldn’t tell you if I’m right.

        And I think you’re right on the weight medication front.   I’m just grateful that the one I’m on, Mounjaro, is something that — in theory — I can stay on: there’s no two year NHS imposed limit, as there is with semaglutide.
