Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 12th January, 2018

You know, ever-so-often?

I get the urge to actually look around and see what’s happening.

And, as a result?

I occasionally see a sign.

Like the one around the corner.

Near me, there’s a road called Saint James Road.

And, on the corner, there’s a patch of land that’s been the subject of a lot of debate, over the past few decade.

It’s had — with a lot of opposition from residents, myself included* — planning approval for various shades of flats, offices or assorted mixed developments.

As I recall, the most recent approval, was a couple of years ago.   Indeed, building — or, at least, the groundwork — had started in the past few months.

Last night?   I finally noticed the sign on what’s supposed to be a building site.


It seems the site is to be sold.

Quite what any new developers will do with it?

I don’t know.

But think we’re going to get a lot more arguments.

Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 12-1-2017

It has to be said, I had the night off, last night.

And am back to work, tonight.

In the middle of all that … ?

In the middle of all that, I know I managed to not watch a film.

Yes, I know: both Debbi and Olga have been waving suggestions at me for some time.   All of which sound good.

But found myself in a funny old mood, last night.

Instead … ?

I found myself hankering after … a TV show!

And managed to catch the first episode of series one of Mr Robot: something I’ve had in my collection for a while.

Personally?

I’m glad I did.

That pilot episode was quite something to see.
