Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 23rd May 2026.

23rd May, 2026.

It’s officially official: I can jump around the room, after I had a password adventure!

I went shopping, yesterday: as it was payday.

And picked up an Apple Gift card, to help play my cloud storage bills.

I got home, had lunch, recorded and uploaded a video … 

And, when the video had finished uploading … ?

Tried feeding the code on the card into my Apple Account … 

Which got refused … repeatedly … 

And reset … repeatedly … 

It was only after re-starting, siding in and out of Music.app, restarting again, signing in and out of Music.app, then re-starting, again, THEN signing in and out of Music.app and TV.app … 

All of this with my left foot in a bucket of cold porridge.

It was only after all that, that the new password stuck.

‘Password adventure’ … is possibly putting it mildly …

The Daily Teaser — 23-5-2016

Oh … 

I usually have the radio on, at this time of the morning.

Usually?   Usually, you can guarantee I’ll be listening to Radio 4’s Today programme: as I am at the moment.

The Thought for the Day?   Told us that the relics of Saint Thomas à Becket are being transported back from Hungary: to Canterbury Cathedral, the church where he was killed by Knights Templars on the apparent orders of the king.   (The ‘Who will rid me of this troublesome priest’ incident, if you know your history.)

The reason that caught my attention?

Is the fact I grew up in Brentwood.

The major Anglican Church is Saint Thomas’s, and the town was on the pilgrimage route from the north, to Canterbury, the site of the saint’s veneration.

Amazing what you learn, growing up.
