Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 10th September, 2018

10th September, 2018.


Yes: my intro video, today, sees me confessing I almost mixed my days up.

Which is not something to confess to, if, like me, you write blogposts themed around what day it is.

It could have been worse, I could’ve opened like this … 


Which could’ve been worse …

As a quick thought … ?

I noticed this piece on the BBC’s new site, the other day.

It explains how researchers have found that using renewable energy sources — specifically, solar panels and wind farms — could alter the rainfall patterns in arid dry deserts like the Sahara: making them greener areas, that potentially could be used as valuable farmland.

Personally?

I’m no scientist, but think that could be a good thing: after all, with an increasing population, anything that lets us grow more food would be useful.

My first thought, though?

Dune fan that I am, I quietly thought the area, home of the tribal people that supposedly were the inspiration for the novel’s Fremen … 


Would get dozens of them, running over a dune, yelling ‘Muad’Dib.’

What CAN I tell you?

Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 10-9-2017

Ooooh … 

But that’s better … 

It’s a Sunday morning … and one where I’m doing my usual eleven ’til five shift.

So, of course, today … ?

I’ve got up at six: and will be getting home at six.

My points?
  • I’ll probably am going to need a lot of caffeine, by the time I get home.
  • I’ve got to iron some shirts, later!
Yep: it’s a fun Sunday evening, ahead!
