Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 1-12-2022 — Mum’s Gone Back To Iceland.

1st December, 2022: Mum’s Gone Back to Iceland!

Thursday … !

You have to love a Thursday.

If, of course, you’ve got something to do!

Frankly?

I haven’t: bar some shopping.

Frankly?   With the weather getting colder, stew seems appropriate!

Oh … 

My nephew was over yesterday: feeling rather sad, as one of his pet rabbits, Donnie, had died.

I think a lot of hugs, and making a video, helped.

Here’s hoping!

Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 21-11-2022 — Björk.

21st November, 2022: Björk … !

Right … it’s officially that time of fortnight, again!

I’ve got to go an meet my Job Centre Case worker, today.

One thing I need to tell him?

Is that Restart, the work scene I’m one, haven’t agree to get a passport for: my Restart worker’s just going to talk to her managers.

We’ll have to see what happens there, I think.

I’ve got type two diabetes: in case you couldn’t tell.

So I keep my eyes on any news about it, and type one.

Recently?

It seems that a new medication for type one diabetes has been approved for use in the US.

One that — if I’ve understood the news report correctly — helps stops a body’s immune system attacking the pancreas: boosting the body’s production of insulin* in the process.

It sounds like it could be very use for those who have the condition.

Can it be used for type two?

I don’t know: but suspect not.

If I’ve understood things correctly, the two conditions are very different to each other: and to gestational diabetes.

So I’d not be surprised if it can’t.

But?   Hopefully, there’s something equally radical around the corner for us.

Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 21st November, 2020.

21st November, 2020.

Hmmm … 

I had a day, yesterday: chasing up laptops with my landlords.

Apparently?   Parcelforce tried delivering on Thursday: at 14:45.

I know I didn’t hear them ring.

As a result?   The laptop’s at the post office.

I’m going to try and pick it up, today: from the Royal Mail’s collection office in Saint Thomas’ Road.

Assuming, of course, that it’s open by the time I get there: I’m going into town to have a ’Flu jab.

The last time I went to the place on a Saturday?   It was only open from 7am to 9am.

Heigh-ho.

~≈¥≈~

Just as a quick minor point?

Thus far, I’m happy with macOS Big Sur.

I’ve got a couple of relatively minor quibbles.

The one that’s staring me in the face?

Is simply that there’s no icon for blu-ray discs.

Which makes finding the Blu-ray Disc I’ve currently got, tricky.

Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 21-11-2016

Ye, gods, I’m am officially tired … !

No, really … !

I managed to get home, last night, at about the usual sort of time.

And got to bed, at around the usual sort of time.

Frankly?

I’m sort of happy I’m not at work until later.

I might just be able to sneak in an afternoon nap …
