Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 19th July, 2023.

19th July, 2023.


It’s Wednesday … and it’s raining>

Well … drizzling: let’s put it that way.

Which makes a change from this time, last year.

19th July, 2022, was the hottest day in the UK, on record.

I’m thankful things have changed!

~≈¥≈~

I’m tired: partly … ?

Because I went to bed late.

After finishing my last review of The Mandalorian’s third series.


And helping my nephew with his most recent ones.



Oh, and helping him with his Spanish homework.

Oh, at least, letting him use my laptop, to do his Spanish homework.

Either I’m boring, or it was very last minute!

~≈¥≈~

So … I was up late … after getting up early, yesterday.

I had a Personal Independence Payment  assessment, yesterday.

It went well enough: and the DWP, the Department of Work and Pensions, have formally messaged me to tell me I’ll get a message about their decision … 

In six to eight weeks.

My internal monologue?

Is persistently telling me I’ve won six thousand pounds (£6, 000): and should start eyeballing furnishings, and a new Mac, now.

Which is poisonous: something akin to a gambling addict’s mind telling him this last bet will win him a fortune.

All I can do … ?

Is to keep very aware of that, not get my hopes up … and try and be patient!

Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 19-7-2016

Ye gods … 

But that was a hot night!

The past few days?

Have been definitely humid.

Uncomfortably so.

Yesterday?

Was absolutely gorgeous.

But frankly?

Frankly, it was definitely warm, last night.

~≈†≈~

But, while it was warm enough for me to comfortably fall asleep with the windows open?

It wasn’t warm enough to stop me watching a film.

If you get the chance, at some point?

I would seriously suggest you sit down with the Robert Eggers directed, The Witch.

I think it’s worth your time.

The Daily Teaser — 19-7-2015

Oy veh … !

I’m … up … 

And feeling like I want to go back to bed: ASAP … !

Frankly, last night … ?   Was a late one.

I managed to get finished at 11, after putting in an extra half hour: helping clean out the main restaurant.

All nice: especially as it bagged me an extra half hour’s pay.   Not something I want to sneeze at.

Money’s always tight, so any extra helps.

At any, rate … ?   That’s left me feeling lovely, this morning.   Lovely … with a heavy dose of irony, I thought add.

As, today sees me from 12 ’til 8.30.

Oy … VEH … !
