Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 1st August 2026 Teaser

1st August, 2026.

It’s officially Saturday: and … ?

We’re allowed to run ’round, screaming our heads off, and making excited ‘Yay’ noises!

That’s assuming we’re not bored out of our skulls, of course.

If we are … ?

A certain amount of thumb twiddling might be just the thing … !

Did I mention I’m in south-east England?

I’m in south-east England: and very aware that it’s hot out there.

And that parts of the country are suffering from drought.

Seeing the news about it, didn’t necessarily make it sink in.

Until I got an email, yesterday: from Essex and Suffolk Water.

Yep: my part of the world is now under a hosepipe ban!

Not that it directly affects me: I’m in a ground floor flat, have no garden, and don’t own a hosepipe!

Heigh … ho … !

Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 8th January 2026.

8th January, 2026.

I’ve got to admit, I looked out of the window, earlier.

And yes: with Storm Goretti on the horizon, Brentwood’s getting rained on.

So … ?   I’m happy to see that the government-sponsored Cold Weather Payment has gone through.

Having extra money for gas will be useful.

It won’t stop the rain, or the storm: but will get me dry, if I go out.
