Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 9th July, 2019.

9th July, 2019.

Right, I’ve got a new toy.

He says, with a certain of irony.

I’ve a few, actually.

Including a game controller for my Apple TV.   Which — during though boring patches during a wet afternoon? — make Sonic the Hedgehog a joy.

The other toy?

The one I went to Basildon Hospital for?

Is a CPAP machine.

It’s seems part of the reason I have trouble sleep, is simply the weight: which affects my breathing at night.

So have to hook myself up to this gadget — via an associated face mask — over night.

My first use?   Was last night.

It’s just a shame I forgot to turn the blasted thing on … !

Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 9-7-2017

You know, a horrible thought’s occurred.

Famously?

A few weeks ago, Grenfell Tower went up in flames.

With lives being lost in the immediate fire, the burials  will probably starting soon.

Once the infighting stops?   The enquiry will start.

~≈Ÿ≈~

In all that?

I’m thinking of the money.

There’s at least three tower block in Brentwood: Masefield Court, Gibraltar House, and Drake House.

And I’m wondering how much it would cost Brentwood Council to make sure the three buildings have adequate fire protection.

Just as people are commenting on the costs of Grenfall Tower’s protection.

I’m blowed if I know: but think at least checks should be made.

Even if those checks tell the residents of the three blocks that the buildings aren’t safe, and that changes need to be made?

I have a nasty suspicious those checks and changes … ?

Will be cheaper than any compensation demanded in the event of a fire.

Yes, I know perfectly well that sounds cynical: and possibly offensive.

But let’s be frank, here.

Sometimes the money’s the one thing that will get people in power moving.
