Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 21-9-2025 — The International Day of Peace (Ten questions)

21st September, 2025: the International Day of Peace.

Right, then … 

Radio 4’s new bulletin is playing in the background.

And … ?

It’s told us of a cyber-attack on the check-in systems of various international airports.

Apparently, the company responsible for the software that’s being attacked, has described it as a “cyber-related disruption.”

Without being too clear about what sort of disruption they’re mean.

Quite what’s going on there, who is to blame, and how long the disruption will last?

Is beyond me …

Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 25th October, 2024

25th October, 2024.

Yay!

It’s officially official!

I now have a fully assembled sofa.

Complete with improvised antimacassars!

I think I’d’ve preferred something with higher arms.

But on the other hand … ?

I’ve got a sofa with a seat at a perfect height: that means I have my feet on the ground, when I sit down.

And had help from an old friend called Graham: who helped assemble the thing.

Thank you, Graham!

~≈🛋️≈~

Have you got a change pot?

A pot, or container, to keep your loose change in … ?

I have: I’ve had one for years.

There’s never much in mine: but it’s handy to have.

And something I check, every-so-often.

It covers the cost of a bus ride, if nothing else.

But … ?

It’s something I check, several times a week: sometimes, a couple of times a day.

It’s … I don’t know, soothing?

Enjoyable?

Compulsive?

I couldn’t tell you.

But it’s something I find reassuring, if nothing else.

Yes, before you ask … I’m a fan of Apple’s Mac computers.

You’ve possibly worked that out.

So you’re possibly aware that I keep an eye on things.

And so I’m very aware that — going by some reports — Apple’s planning a slew of press releases, next week: announcing new models of Mac.

Mac mini, in particular.

You can imaging how interested I am, can’t you … ?
