Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 18-5-2026 — International Museum Day.

18th May, 2026: International Museum Day.

Right, then: it’s Monday, again.

You knew that: you can see the date as easily as I can.

And, as it’s Monday?

That means I’m off to my weight management meeting, again.

I’m looking forward to that: hoping, I’ll’ve lost weight.

Which, as I was up, last week, would be nice.

The only worrying thing … ?

Is simply this: the weather looks nice, right now.

But it looks a bit changeable, later.

Given the possible leadership election the Labour government’s facing?

I know contender, Wes Streeting, has been criticised for his statements: supporting re-joining the European Union.

I voted Remain in the 2016 referendum: so you know.

But?

I don’t know that I could support rejoining, right now.

Before we left, we’d negotiated things in a way that meant we kept the Pound as our currency.

Granted, we had to co-ordinate monetary policy with the EU and the European Central Bank, but we had a measure of control over what is an internationally recognised reserve currency.

If I’ve understood things correctly, though?

Current EU membership rules mean we’d have to adopt the Euro, should we want to rejoin.

And, presumably, lose a lot more control in the process.

I’ll be honest, if Britain were to reapply to rejoin the EU?

I’d be comfier with a cast iron guarantee that we’d keep the pound.

That’s a guarantee I can’t see a politician — any politician — giving me.

Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 19th May, 2019

19th May, 2019.

Yes: it’s official: I have a kid sister who’s in Brentwood Operatic Society’s production of the Madness  musical, Our House.

Which I thought was fun.

Jude, on the other hand?

Only liked the bits with Mummy in them.

Oh, and preferred the BOS version of Spamalot.

There’s no pleasing some people!

~≈§≈~

Oh … 

You can possibly tell I voted Remain, in the 2016 Referendum, can’t you?

I’m not a Leaver, let’s put it that way.

So finding crowds outside the Sugar Hut — the Brentwood High Street venue that’s home to The Only Way Is Essex —, a couple of days, ago?

I had to struggle to get through.

From what I could gather from the journalists?

It was a Brexit Party meeting: complete with party Leader, Nigel Farage.

At a recent Edinburgh meeting, police had asked the local McDonalds to STOP selling ice cream and milkshakes: after various politicians had ended up with a faceful of milkshake.

Personally?

I just wish I’d had the cash.

There’s a Burger King a few doors from the Sugar Hut …

Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 18-5-2019: International Museum Day.

18th May, 2019.

I am officially … tired: after something of a late night.

Yep: I was up, last night, watching a movie: the Nicolas Cage vehicle that was Mandy.

That’s … definitely a film worth watching.

Although, to be honest?

I gave it two stars for a reason.

The filters used to show you the characters were having a bad LSD ex[erience Were a little overwhelming,  as far as I was concerned.

~≈§≈~

All that … ?

All that, and I’m due to see a show, tonight … 

My kid sister, Ruth?

Is in an amateur version of Our House.

Quite what that’s going to be like, I don’t know!
