Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 5th February, 2024.

5th February, 2024.


It’s official: it’s Monday.

And?

As ever, I’m up early: so I can get to my weight management class on time.

Hopefully?

I’ll find out whether I’ve lost some weight.

~≈⚖️≈~

Getting up as early as I did … ?

Means I caught Radio Four’s Tweet of the Day: the (extremely brief) show that plays a bird call at listeners, along side a drive few facts about the bird in question.

Today’s Tweet?

Was presented by Chris Packham: and informed us about the bird making it, the (male) Great Bustard,


The one thing that struck me as funny — funny peculiar, rather than funny ha-ha — was the bird’s call.

I know ornithologists and bird watchers will define the word ‘tweet’ differently to me, and millions of Twitter users: but, for me, it’s got a light sort of feel to it.

It describes the sort of sound made by budgies, rather than anything else.

So, hearing the sound made by Great Bustards?

The only way I could describe the sound, is ‘Fart’!

~≈🦤≈~

Just as a final thought?

My Mac — like most of the ones I’ve had over the past few years — has a feature that lets me find symbols, and emojis.


So you know?

‘💨’ is the emoji that comes up when I search for ‘fart’.

Someone’s got a bit too much time on their hands: and it’s not me!

Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 5th February, 2022

5th February, 2022.


Yes: it’s a Saturday.

Which means that those of us of a certain age will be singing the theme tune for Tiswas.


Yep: I’ve had the dratted thing, ear-worming its way through my head, all morning.

At any rate … ?

It’s Saturday: a day with no actual meetings to go to.

And, thankfully?   No exercises to do.

I have time to shop: and possibly see a film.

He says …
