Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 17-10-2019: International Day for the Eradication of Poverty

17th October, 2019

Another year, another day, another dollar: ha!

But in all that?

I’m getting my boiler looked at, today.

Much like it’s needed for the past couple of years.

Quite what’s happening … ?

I honestly couldn’t tell you.

~≈ℇ≈~

Did I mention Extinction Rebellion?

The protest movement is known for it’s direct action: with member glueing themselves to walls, railings, trains and planes across the world.

This morning, however?

Frustrated commuters have pulled an Extinction Rebellion protestor off of a tube train in Canning Town.

Personally?

I’m sympathetic to Extinction Rebellion’s cause: I think governments should be doing more.

But, having been a commuter who’s had his train delayed, too many times, by people who’ve jumped in front of them?

I’m with those commuters.

However sympathetic I may to your cause?   I vote Green, after all.

However sympathetic I am, don’t stop my trip to work.

I’m likely to be less sympathetic.

Now … 

Have a playlist …

Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 22-3-2019: World Water Day

22nd March, 2019.

Right … 

Today is going to be something of a long day: shopping, the Citizen’s Advise Bureau, a hospital appointment … 

Not a serious one, I should add: just a blood test to track my underachieve thyroid.

It’s not a day I want to fanny around: excuse the language.

But therefore … 

It’s exactly the day Google’s photo uploader decides to act up.

Technology is a wonderful thing.

Until it goes ka-bluey … … !

Oh, by the way … 

If you’re in the UK, you’re possibly aware of the petition: the one that calls on Parliament.

You can find it, here.

It’s hopeless: the thing closes in August, well after any of the leaving days.

But, frankly?

I’ve signed: as have many others.

In part, to raise the issue.

Hey ho …
