Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 20-10-2025 — Louisiana Purchased.

20th October, 2025: Louisiana Purchased.

Right … my innards seem to be recovering … 

But … ?

I’m very aware the cramps I suffer with do take a while to fade: so, hopefully?

I’ll have recovered enough to head for my weight management class, today.

The one upside to the situation … ?

I’ve had a new set of Venetian blinds sitting around for a while: that I intended to use as replacements for the set over the back window.

I finally managed to install those, yesterday: in a desperate effort to distract myself from how my innards were behaving.

The fact I also cleaned my food bin … ?

Was possibly a bonus … !

Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 20-10-2024 — Madam Vice-President.

20th October, 2024: Madam Vice-president.

It’s officially official: it’s not just Evri that get deliveries wrong!

I was due a delivery, yesterday: from Amazon.

Some new bedsheets, and jogging bottoms, so you know.

What I got … ?

Was some shampoo, and toothbrushes.

As it turned out, the driver had delivered my package to a flat over the road: and their package to me.

I’m thankful the couple were in: as it meant I could wonder over and swap packages.

But?

You can bet I sent Jeff Bezos an email!

Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 20th October 2023.

20th October, 2023.

Well, well, well … it’s Friday.

And it’s a Friday where it’s raining.

It’s not looking good out.

I think heading out for a walk … is going to get me soaked!

~≈¥≈~

On other fronts?

I applied for Personal Independence Payment, a while back: and have put in an appeal against a (refused) reconsideration.

I was a little worried.

As — according to the relevant website — the Department of Work and Pensions had not responded to the courts: potentially holding things up in the process.

They have now — as of yesterday — done so.

Things are slowly moving …

Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 20-10-2022 — World Osteoporosis Day.

20th October, 2022.

Yep: I’m up, early, again.

For the second time this week.

Only this time?   I’ve actually double checked my dates.

And I definitely have a weight management group call, today!

I’ve got the email, already, thanking you … !

Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 20-10-2021: Danny Boy … !

20th October, 2021.

 

Oh … 

I’ve got Radio 4’s Today programme on in the background.

You’ll Never Walk Alone, by Gerry and the Pacemakers, is now the most played song at funerals.

Frankly?

That’s a bit too much information at this time of the morning.

At any rate … ?

It’s rainy out.

I’m planning on going for a stroll, later: before I have a video meeting with my Job Centre case worker.

Hopefully, the Rain will have stopped, by then!

Watchmen — Series 1 Episode 5 — Little Fear of Lightning — A Review

20th October, 2020.

Right … it’s a Tuesday night, and frankly … ?

I’m wanting my bed.

That’s either my age, depression … or a knee that’s feeling older than the rest of me!

Either way … ?   And with various bits of me aching … ?

I wanted to get it on record: that I’d seen another episode of  Watchmen.

And will tell you more, tomorrow … !

Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 20th October, 2020.

20th October, 2020.

Right: I’ve finally finished the most recent article for PhoenixFM!

If anyone wants to cheer, they’d be welcome.

If anyone want’s to read the thing?

That would be nice, too.

But just to try and summarise it?

My town hasn’t had a cinema since the old ABC closed down.

I think we could go with one: if for no other reason than providing a social distanced morale boosting.

~≈😷≈~

I take it you follow the news, at all … ?

I’ve noticed this piece float past on the BBC’s teletext service.

It seems a group of cyber-criminals — calling themselves the Darkside Group — have decided to become modern-day Robin Hoods: and donate some of their ill-gotten gains to a couple of charities.

Why?

I have no idea.

Beyond thinking they’re either trying to generate good publicity for themselves … or not very good at money laundering …

Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 20-10-2019: Sydney Opera House

20th October, 2019.

Right … 

You’ve possibly realised I’m a film fan.

It’s not like I haven’t made it obvious, over the years.

Last night, though … ?

I managed to catch the Noel Clarke penned Kidulthood — my review’s here — last night.

Something I’ve not done?

Is a video version of these reviews.

I still haven’t, I think.

But, in the light of now being able to earn money on uploads?

Thought something could be helpful … 

~≈Ω≈~

In a sad bit of news?

A sad bit that I missed … ?

Is that Rick Loomis, founder of Flying Buffalo Games, has died of lymphatic cancer: after a long fight with the disease.

I’m saddened to hear that.

His company’s Tunnels and Trolls was my first role playing game: and the second one to be published.

It’s … 

Well, it’s sad to hear the man who’s company picked up the challenge of Dungeons and Dragons, and made the concept cheaper and easier to play, has gone.

RIP, Rick.

Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 20th October, 2018.

20th October, 2018.

It’s true … 

I’m replaced that bulb … !

And it’s now shining away like the shiny, switched on, thing it is.

Ahem!

What DOES get me, though?

Was pricing.

I got two bulbs, in Poundland, for two pounds.

The same type of bulbs, in my local Sainburys?

As a two pack?

Four pounds.

Four whole pounds.

Fou … 

Yeah.

Double the price.

You tell me …

Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 20-10-2017: Oh, Danny Boy … !

It’s official: I’m up early, again.

And worrying I’ve not got time to do everything I want to do, before I head off to work.

Basically?   It’s Friday: so I’d like to tray and get some bills paid, before I head off!

Rush, rush … 

Rush … !

~≈Ê≈~

Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 20-10-2016

Right … 

Today … is a day off!

And frankly?

It’s one where I’m going to be busy, I think.

After all, I’m heading for my local community hospital’s radiology department: for an x-ray on my shoulder.

Lord knows what I’ve done, but something’s not right.
