Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 6th October 2026.

6th October, 2026.

OK: it’s my second early start of the week.

I was up, early, yesterday: as I usually spend Mondays at my weight management group.

No, I hadn’t lost weight, yesterday: but I hadn’t gained, either, so that’s good.

However: I’m up early, again, today.

Yep: I’m off to Brentwood Hospital, for my usual diabetic blood tests.

Hopefully, the results will mean I can put in for an increased dose of Mounjaro: that’s stuff’s handy … !
