Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 7-9-2026 — Boston. (Ten Questions)

7th September, 2026: Boston.

On a day you officially know to be Monday turn’s out not to be a bank holiday … you know it’s time to go back to your weekly weight management class!

As it was a bank holiday, last week … ?

It means I’ve had a fortnight’s gap between weight-ins: an ono idea how I’ve done.

I’ll find out, later today.

Oh, in case you’re on Bluesky?

This post should make sense of any crypto-banana references in the intro video.

Some Computer Delegates are visiting today. Maybe me old fashioned, but me miss the days when they just wanted to take over the World. WOTAN here keeps trying to sell me CRYPTO, while B.O.S.S. just wants to promote TECH START-UPS! 🙄

At least I hope it will: Gruntleigh can be a bit obscure, sometimes!

It’s not often I suggest following a YouTube channel … but if you’re a Dr Who fan … ?

@SaltyHam’s worth following: and his most recent video, about Patrick Troughton’s era as the Doctor, is very well made.

Mark Twain.
