Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 22nd September 2026.

22nd September, 2026.

I think we can safely say it’s thumb-twiddling day.

Yes: and in other words?

It’s the day before payday: so I have no actual cash to do anything, beyond going of a nice healthy walk.

Which, given my weight was up 100 grams — about a third of a pound, Mum! — yesterday, is no bad thing!

Heigh ho!

~≈🚶🏻≈~

Let’s move on.


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

“I like sex.   I’ve had feedback but men will feed you back anything, won’t they?”

Fay Weldon, 22 September 1931 – 4 January 2023.

Thank you for coming: have a good day.

*        Hello, Mum!   (Yom Kippur is the day of atonement, Mum, rather than the day of reflection.)

†        I found an American interview with him, Debbi‡: you can hear his Welsh accent in it, a little: although he’s toned it down, heavily.   It’s a bit more pronounced in the interview he did with the BBC, recently.

‡        He’s mild, Debbi: compared to Eve Myles or Michael Sheen.
