Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 17th July, 2022.

17th July, 2022.

I’ve had a look at the BBC’s online weather report for my area, this morning.

This part of Brentwood has a predicted high of 31°.

That’s going to be uncomfortable for many of us.

I’m also very aware that there’s an amber heat warning for England, today: ahead of the red* warning for tomorrow and Tuesday.

There’s also the piece that tells us London’s see over eight hundred grass fires in London, since June.

Spain and Portugal?   Have wildfires.

I know there’s a lot of climate deniers out there.

And can’t help but wonder what they make of Britain’s first extreme heat warning.

23rd September, 2020.

Yes: I’ve had a late night.

Or, at least, comparatively late: compared to late nights I had when I was a teenager.

Isn’t is always the way?

At any rate … ?

I was up, watching Watchmen.

I have to say, I was impressed with Penny Dreadful: City of Angels and The Mandalorian.

Watchman?

Is a step or two above both.

Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 23rd September, 2018

23rd September, 2018.

I officially think I’m … 

No … I know I’m feeling both my age, and the slight chill in the air.

To be fair?

It’s Five in the morning, and I’ve got another early start.

And frankly?

I’ve put the heating on, to try and take the edge of the chill.

Frankly?

I think my boiler’s struggling: as I’ve not used the heating for a few months.

What with one thing and another … ?

I’m going to be busy, tomorrow morning.

On — off duty — the phone.

~≈§≈~

I also wanted to highlight something else.

I’ve long taken an interest in technology: including the code breaking that took place at Bletchley Park, during World War 2.

So … ?

The new, recently, that computer historians have re-enacted de-coding Enigma traffic, with the site’s reconstructed Bombe?

Caught my attention.

Frankly, I wouldn’t’ve minded seeing that … 

~≈§≈~

There’s more.

I was a teenager in 1980s.   And you couldn’t escape the sound of Chas and Dave: you really could.

Pianist, Chas Hodges, died yesterday.   Which is sad.

The songs he wrote for the duo were well written bits of pop: and I still think There Ain’t No Pleasin’ You is a cracker of a love gone bad song.

And as for Gertcha …?

Well …

Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 28-6-2016: Saxophony

Drat … ! I didn’t get to see Event Horizon, last night.

As the blu-ray I’d bought hadn’t finished, by the time I’d got around to wanting to watch something.

Still, it’s ready to go, as and when I get another chance.

Which might be, tonight, I don’t know as yet.

At ANY rate … ?   Last night saw me watching 13Hrs, instead.

Nice film, that.   Especially when you consider it’s only 99p to rent the thing on iTunes.

Not bad for 99p …
