Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 3rd December 2022 Teaser.

3rd December, 2022.

Yes: it’s Saturday.

And I officially know what I’m having for dinner.

Stew.

As opposed to, say, chilli: or spaghetti.

I made a batch on Thursday.

And have to admit: I’m rather pleased with it.

I think I got the roux, the mixture that can be used to thicken stock, right.

Are you in the UK … ?   And, like me, starting to send Christmas cards?

I’m grateful I keep an eye on the news.

As the Royal Mail has announced that people should send Xmas card earlier than usual: as the expected postal strikes are going to hold things up.

The revised dates are: 

• 2nd Class — 12th December.
• 1st Class — 19th December.
• International Post — 3rd December.   (Today.)

Which means I’ve got one last card I have to get posted, today!

Heigh-ho!

Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 3rd December, 2019.

3rd December, 2019.

Right then … 

I’m up early … again.

For the second day of the course I’m on.

Day one, yesterday?

Was mostly about filling in the paperwork.   And doing some online numeracy and literacy testing.

On Windows based laptops.

I’m a Mac fan: you can imagine how I felt, can’t you … ?

On a more serious note?

Much as I’d rather not use a PC, I’m fairly certain that — in using them — I’m going to need to be a touch cautious.

These are shared machines: normally used in an academic setting*, and running an older form of Windows that’s due to be replaced.

And with student’s work on them.

I’m going to need to be careful to not look at that.

And am quietly thinking the college’s IT department could possibly set up the guest accounts on the machines we’re using to not show those.

Or, at least, make sure tutors encourage students to not keep their work on the custom guest accounts.

Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 3rd December 2017

Argh!

I’m up late … !   I forgot to put my alarm on, last night … !

I got up at eight instead of seven … !

I hate doing that.   Especially on a day off: when I have to go shopping … !

Remind me not to to kick myself.

I’d probably miss!
