Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 13th April 2026.

13th April, 2026.


OK, it’s officially Monday!

And … ?

I think that — once I’ve got home from my weight management class — I’ll go back to bed.

Early mornings can be a killer … !

Oh, did I tell you I’ve been playing around with Final Cut Pro?

I’ve been playing with Final Cut Pro.

And finally managed to work out how to make a project vertical, so I could make a YouTube Short on something other than my phone.


Here’s hoping it get’s a few views!

Did I mention I was floating around Wikipedia, yesterday?

I was floating around Wikipedia, yesterday: reading up about the Paul Hardcastle hit, “19”.


I knew most of the spoken audio came from a documentary: but hadn’t realised the documentary was called Vietnam Requiem.

Disappointingly?

The only version of the thing I could find on Amazon, was an out of stock VHS copy*.

It’s a shame it’s not on DVD or bluray.

Outside of the historical interest, it would be good to hear the song’s spoken parts in their original context†.

Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 13-4-2022: Jefferson.

13th April, 2022.


It’s official: both the Prime Minister — Boris Johnson — and the Chancellor of the Exchequer — Rishi Sunak — have been fined: for attending parties during the COVID 19 lockdown.

They’ve paid the fines, and apologised to anyone who’ll believe them: but rejected calls for their resignations.

Somehow?   I’m not surprised.

Personally?   You and me breaking the rules — and paying a fine — is one thing.

But for people holding the highest offices in the country* … ?

I don’t know if they should.

But don’t think their apologies are good enough.

Did I mention my nephew, Jude, was here, yesterday?

My nephew, Jude, was here, yesterday.

And you can find out what he looks like in his most recent videos … 



That’s him on the left, at the start of the first video …
