Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 25-8-2017: Neptune

Yay … !

My hallway light’s working … !

You may or may not know it, but I had an electrician around, yesterday.

To fix my hallway light.   Or, to be more accurate, replace the fitting in the hallway light.

That’s done!

While he was here?

I’ve got smoke detectors in my flat: ones that — like all of them — have batteries in them: that way, if you get a power cut, the detectors will still work.

They beep, annoyingly, if the battery needs changing.

Mine have been beeping for a while.   A mix of inertia and not being able to get the covers off, meant I hadn’t changed the batteries for a while.

The chap managed to sort out my smoke detectors, as well.

Yes!!!!!!

I’m beep free: and the flat’s unnervingly quiet.

Which kind of makes up for the fact that last night’s film — the Ben Wheatley produced, Gareth Tunley directed, The Ghoul — wasn’t one of the best movies I’ve seen …

The Ghoul: Not For Me …

You know, I don’t think that I’ve had that much time off, this week.

Or, at least, as much as I did, last week.

But … ?

But I’ve had enough: to do a little writing, a little cleaning up around the place.

Oh, and enough time to stay in, this morning, patiently waiting for an electrician to fix my hallway light.

Or, at least, replace the fitting … and, while he was at it, see to the beeping smoke detectors.

No, literally, beeping.

The batteries needed changing.

At any rate?

At any rate, I had the evening free for a movie.

Right now?

Right now, I’ve just finished watching the Ben Wheatley produced, Gary Tunley directed, The Ghoul.

And, much as I usually like anything with the name ‘Wheatley,’ on it?

I’m not convinced by The Ghoul …
