Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 23-9-2021: Nep’s Tune

23rd September, 2021.

Right … 

It’s officially pay day: or, at least, the day my benefits go through.

And, frankly?   The last full month of the £20 uplift to my Universal Credit.

That’s due to end on the 30th September.

I suspect I — like everyone else I know who’s ion the benefit? — will be hoping that the government will decide to make the thing permanent: at the last minute.

I should coco …

Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 25-8-2017: Neptune

Yay … !

My hallway light’s working … !

You may or may not know it, but I had an electrician around, yesterday.

To fix my hallway light.   Or, to be more accurate, replace the fitting in the hallway light.

That’s done!

While he was here?

I’ve got smoke detectors in my flat: ones that — like all of them — have batteries in them: that way, if you get a power cut, the detectors will still work.

They beep, annoyingly, if the battery needs changing.

Mine have been beeping for a while.   A mix of inertia and not being able to get the covers off, meant I hadn’t changed the batteries for a while.

The chap managed to sort out my smoke detectors, as well.

Yes!!!!!!

I’m beep free: and the flat’s unnervingly quiet.

Which kind of makes up for the fact that last night’s film — the Ben Wheatley produced, Gareth Tunley directed, The Ghoul — wasn’t one of the best movies I’ve seen …

The Daily Teaser — 28-12-2015: Neptune

Right … 

It is — as far as I’m concerned — the end of Christmas.

Yes, I know we’ve got until Epiphany, on January 5th.

It’s not officially over, until then.

But … ?

I’m having the last of my few days off, today: AND opening the last of my presents.

Yes … tickets to see Star Wars: The Force Awakens.

Don’t say anything: I’d rather not see spoilers!!
