Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 1st December 2025.

1st December, 2025.

Right … you’ll possibly remember me mentioning that a house not far from my place had burnt down.

Sadly … ?

It seems that at least one person has died: and another — I’m assuming the spouse — is seriously injured, and still in hospital.

Thankfully — or not, depending on your point of view — the police are treating the event as non-suspicious.

So … ?

That means it was an accident: and not murder.

That possibly doesn’t makes things easier for the survivor.

~≈🔥≈~

Yes: before you say anything … 

I am up early!

Although not as early as last week.

But I’m up early for similar reasons.

I’m off to hospital: for my regular diabetic blood tests.

Thankfully … ?

It’s in Brentwood Community Hospital: rather than Basildon.

The trip’s going to be shorter … !

~≈🏥≈~

Just as a last thought … ?

I caught Frankenstein, the 2025 version, on Friday.

It’s rather good.

I’ll have a fuller review up, later … !

~≈ᛘ≈~

“The incredible thing happens at the beginning of the story always, you notice, not the end.   A Sherlock Holmes story is never a trick story.”

Rex Stout, 1 December 1886 – 27 October 1975.

A song …
