Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 7th June, 2022

7th June, 2022.

Right … for once, it’s sunny enough to go out … without getting wet!

We have a sunny day, out: which means I can get a few bits and bobs, without getting damp.

Which is definitely nice.

Especially?   As the next couple of days are going to be busy!

Hygeniest, physios and phoning my GP: after recent ultrasounds and x-rays.

The hygienist and physic won’t be too bad.   But test results?

Well … they’re always nerve wracking, aren’t they?

I have to admit, I’m watching — but not reviewing — the first series of The Book of Boba Fett: and caught an episode, last night.

The Return of The Mandalorian.

It’s a good, watchable, episode.

But, given it focuses on the main character of The Mandalorian?   It should have been in that series: not The Book of Boba Fett!

The only bit of the episode that needed to be in the Temuera Morrison led show, was the last five minutes!

Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 7th June, 2020

7th June, 2020.

It’s officially the case … I need a repaired boiler!

Remember, at the start of the year, I had my old boiler replaced with a new one?

Well … it seems that — after a recent brief powercut — the thermostat’s gone.

I can access hot water: just.

But have no heating.

Again.

It would happen now, wouldn’t it … ?

Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 7th June, 2018.

7th June, 2018.

Yes: it’s officially official … 

In amongst other things: an extensive film collection, a job, an entertaining nephew … ?

I have … a crap phone!

One that’s only a few months old.

I got it — on offer, I should add — to replace an older Sony: one with an ageing battery, and not a lot of RAM.

I could only afford to replace it … with a cheap Alcatel with a newer battery … and the same amount of storage.

Both … ?   Run out of storage the minute I open the Facebook app.

One day … ?   I’ll have the cash to make the choice: of exactly WHAT phone to replace it with.

Right now?   I’m wondering whether I should delete the FB app!

While we’re ON technology?

I had a ZX Spectrum, when I was young.

So followed the story of the troubled ZX Vega⁺ — a remake backed by no less a person than Clive Sinclair, himself — with a certain amount of interest.

Unfortunately?

It seems Indiegogo has called in the debt collectors: as Retro Computers, that company behind the Vega⁺?

Have defaulted … 

Amidst increasing internal arguments: and no sign of any working devices … 

That’s a blow for us that would have loved to see the thing succeed.
