Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 30-8-2016

Can I make a confession, here?

I’ve never — beyond seeing Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory — seen a Gene Wilder film!

From where I’m sitting?

That’s not necessarily a bad: his films just weren’t on my To watch list.

But?

With the news, yesterday, of his death, I know there’s not going to be another film with his name in the credits.   I should maybe catch-up by renting one.

What makes it worse?   Is that, apparently, his death was as a result of complications of something that killed both my grandmother, AND my favourite author, Terry Pratchett.

Alzheimer’s has a lot to answers for.

On a more personal note?

On a more personal note, you’ll — possibly — remember me saying I’d complained about my ageing Home Hub 3: my router, in other words.

Which BT promptly offered to replace.

The new one turned up, reasonably promptly: and sat, in it’s box, on a table.   Until, last night, I managed to set it up.

So far, it’s working well.

Here’s hoping it KEEPS doing that: so I can send the old back with no worries …
