Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 28th April 2026 Teaser

28th April, 2026.

It’s officially the case: that there’s been a lot of too-ing and throwing.

Between me, and another neighbour, and Clarion, our landlords.

The communal aerial’s gone: for the second time this year.

And we’d initially been told that the repair could take until 29th May, this year, to be fixed.

After much towing, throwing, and video posting?

The repairmen are due here, today.

Hopefully, it’ll be a long time before we need them, again.

But, given the last time we needed this fix done?

Was only in February?

I’m wondering how long the fix will last …

†        I’ll keep my fingers crossed, Debbi.   Although I’m less worried about the King being shot … than the President talking to him … !

        It’s not that technical, Debbi.   More a case of:

• Put this, there.
• Open this.
• Close that.
• Press that.
• Do this.
• Yurt.
• Make the potato explode …
