The Daily Teaser — 2-3-2016: The Pound

Right then … !

I’ve manage to put those in.

I mentioned, yesterday, that I’d had the letter from my landlords: telling me my rent had gone up by two  pence.

And that I’d need to take them into Brentwood Council.

Which I’ve now done.

My only problem … ?

Is that I’ve no idea how long any decision will take.

Partly … ?   Apparently, they’ve had delays, because they’ve had to investigate this little lot.

But mostly … ?

I suspect the usual amount of delays one gets when a large organisation gets a LOT of Work to do at one time.

Oy veh …

The Daily Teaser — 1-3-2016: Saint David’s Day

Oh, blimey … 

My rent’s gone up … !

I would love to be in a position to own my flat: I really would.

But that’s not going to happen unless I win the lottery!

At any rate: I rent.   And with the help I get … ?   It’s at an affordable price.

Yesterday … ?

I got the letter that told me how my my rent’s going up by, from my landlords.

I have To take that, and my last six payslips, into the council: so they can suitably adjust my housing benefits.

Even though my rent’s only actually gone up … 

By tuppence … !

The X-Files 2016: Episode 4 — Home Again

You know, I’ve had a mildly quiet day off, today.

Well … 

Beyond bumping into a few people I know, in Brentwood High Street, that is.

It’s given me a chance to do a little basic housework: although you possibly wouldn’t think so.

Oh, and put together a couple of videos for upcoming Daily Teasers: although the real job of work will be finishing off the rest of them, tomorrow.

But that DOES leave me with a free night … 

To … ?

Yes, you’ve guessed … 

Watched some TV.

In this case … ?

Watched episode 4 of the rebooted The X-Files: called Home Again … 

Yes …

The Daily Teaser — 29-2-2016

Hmmm … 

Well that’s the Oscars done with for another year.

I’ve just had a quick look at the winners list, over on the BBC’s news site.

And have to admit, it’s nice to see Mad Max: Fury Road has done well, even though it’s not won Best Film: or one of the other big five.

Speaking as a science fiction fan?   That’s disappointing.

Although, yes … 


I’m VERY aware there’s other things to complain about.

The Daily Teaser — 28-2-2016: Waco … 

You know, it’s a Sunday.   And, thankfully … ?

It’s one I’m thankful I’ve got off.

Mainly … ?   Well, mainly, it means I can see my family: I get to see my nephew, Jude, as well.

It also means I can start organising ripping DVDs for my sister, Ruth.   Happily … ?   I’ve actually managed to persuade one member of my family that you don’t actually need a DVD to watch a movie.

What else am I doing … ?

Oh yeah … !

Shopping.

Which is going to be fun, considering how bloody cold it is, out there!

I’d better make sure I’m wearing a jumper …
