Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 15th February 2026

15th February, 2026.


Right … it’s officially official !

I’ve had to re-inflate the boiler!

Or, at least, twiddle the valves that raise the pressure in whatever it is that needs pressure, raising, to get the thing working.

I’m thankfully that I knew the trick.

It would be a nippy wait, in the cold, for a repair man.

And a long wait, heating enough water to have a bath!

~≈♨️≈~

As an extra point … ?

After complicated backing and forthing, between Amazon and I … ?

I now have a toaster*!


An Amazon Basics one, if you’re interested: which came with a warming rack, for if I ever wanted to toast croissants.

Which isn’t something I’m planning on.

The one question I have left … ?

Will the thing work … ?

~≈🥪≈~

Did I mention I’m on Quora?

The site that let’s you answer questions: and occasionally ask one, yourself?

I had this question float across my time line, a few days ago: asking if people would buy a Mac, if they were frustrated by — or were put off buying — Windows 11.

My answer?

Was that I felt that, yes: that’s one option.

What were you expecting, given I’m a Mac fan?

But I also added that I felt many would look at Chromebooks, or a model of tablet, before making a decision.

I’ve also added something else: that I think the big factor will be not how powerful a machine is, nor the operating system or whether MS Word works on the thing … 

But quite simply one thing: budget.

Money’s always the biggest factor …

Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 15th February, 2018

15th February, 2018.

Where on EARTH, do I start … ?

No, really, where … ?


Well, for starters?

My phone’s gone and bloody well died!

Which is bloody annoying.

Frankly, I really don’t need the expense of buying a new one: whether I get it from CeX, or somewhere pricier.

It’s all … 

Well … 

Annoying!

~≈§≈~

On the OTHER hand … 


On the other hand, I’ve got a secret admirer … !

Someone at work, it seems.

I’ve even got half an idea of whom: and bless, it’s a nice gesture from someone who’s happily spoken for!

Half my age, very attractive, bright as a button … and happily spoken for!

Either way, I can’t complain too much!

It is a nice gesture …

Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 15-2-2017

Hmmm … 

That’s a little disappointing … 

Did I tell You I sent a Valentine‘s Day card … ?

I sent a Valentine’s Day card.

Turns out it was unwelcome.

It was cruel, mean, and the lady concerned is bloody angry!

I’m a little put out, to say the least: that WAS the first I’d ever sent.

I think it’s the last time I’ll be sending one of those … !

The Daily Teaser — 15-2-2016

It’s official.

It’s bloody freezing!

I’m in south east England, so you know: in Brentwood, obviously.

And, for the most part?   We’ve had a mild winter period.

Well … apart from the humungous amounts of wind we’ve had.

Last night, though, while I was watching The Strain?

It started snowing.

Oh, it didn’t settle: thankfully.

But … ?

But, this morning, I’ve woken up and got out of bed in the strong awareness that it’s cold.

Cold enough to seriously ramp up the heating, for the first time in a while.

Speaking personally … ?

I’m freezing … !
