Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 16th December 2025.

16th December, 2025.

That’s always a worry … 

I’m diabetic: which you possibly already knew.

And, as such?

I have a blood sugar testing machine: and the testing strips, and lancets, that go with it.

And the associated sharps bin.

That bin … ?

Is something I have to ask Brentwood Council to dispose of: usually, through a website.

They usually phone me to tell me when the next pickup is, and I have to leave it out, the night before.

The worry?

Comes from the fact I’m convinced the collectors won’t turn up.

Or if one of the neighbours will complain: there’s one I’m convinced will!

Or that a neighbour’s dog will get into the bin, when it’s being walked.

The collectors got here at 06:39.

The neighbour hasn’t complained.

And, as far as I can tell, no dogs sniffed around my bucket.

That’s three less things to worry about …

The Daily Teaser — 16-12-2014

I have to say, THAT was a late night at work!

No, really … !

I was on the Six ’til Twelve shift: which means, of course, I actually got home at 12·30.

Now, it has to be said, the best thing about getting in that late … ?

Was the late night shower I had when I got home.

And, boy, that was good … !
