Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 10-4-2018: 100 Days.

10th April, 2018.

Yep: I officially had a long day, yesterday.

A lot of which?

Was spent at Basildon Hospital.

Having a CT scan, to check on my arterial function.

I’ll actually get the letter making the results appointment, some point soon.

The scan, itself … ?   Was quite an experience.

Having a CT scan of your chest, abdomen and pelvis with contrast from Health and Care Videos on Vimeo.

Certainly, the iodine dye mentioned in the videos was interesting.

You get a definite warm feeling.   Especially around the groin region.

Right now … ?

Right now, it’s something I’m grateful I’ve had.

I can start looking forward to seeing my health improve: although I realise this will take time.

Right now, thought?

I have to admit to having an early night, last night.

It was a long day …

Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 9th April, 2018

9th April, 2018.

Yep: I’ve officially got some thing of a big day ahead of me.

And, wouldn’t you know it?

My innards are playing up!

They should — hopefully — be able to persuade them to calm down: in order to get on with my day.

Right now?

Right now, I’ve an appointment, today: at Basildon Hospital.

For a CT scan, to make sure of my arterial function.   The veins and arteries going into and out of my heart.

I’m … 

Nervous: I’ve never actually had this sort of scan, although I’ve seen something of what happens on TV.

Here’s hoping it goes well.   I may just take a book.

Thelma: Am I Convinced … ?

8th April, 2018.

Yeah … 

That little opener’s one for the books, isn’t it … ?

Maybe I should try and clarify, here: shouldn’t I?

My name’s Paul, if you didn’t know.

I work in a call centre inChelmsford, I blog — the Daily Teasers are getting some attention — and, occasionally?

I’ve a bad habit of telling you about TV shows I’ve watched … and movies I’ve rented/seen.

Oh, and occasionally music.

I’ve got Into Battle with the Art of Noise, by the Art of Noise, on in the background.





Which is definitely an interesting listen: especially the Diversion Zero mix of Beat Box.   Quite different to the version on Whose Afraid (of the Art Of Noise).

At ANY rate … ?

I’ll watch or listen to stuff.

THEN tell people about it.

Tonight … ?

Tonight, I’ve rented Thelma, from iTunes.

And I’m not convinced it’s a winner.

Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 8th April, 2018

8th April, 2018.

Yeah … I’ve got a day off, today … 

And frankly?

I’ve got too much to do in the space of 24 hours!

Cleaning, more cleaning, then some cleaning, then, JUST to top it all off … ?

Cleaning.

With intermittent laundry, in-between.

Actually?

Now I think about it?

The laundry’s sort of important.

I’m running out of pants … 

~≈§≈~

While I’m here … ?

You’ve possibly — over the years — worked out I’m something pod a Mac fan: one who’s been given a new iMac as a birthday present.

Frankly?

I’m thinking I should move the extra monitor from one side of the iMac to the other.

Just to make it easier to look at.

But one thing I AM grateful for … ?

Is simply the fact High Sierra, the version of macOS on this machine?

Has a split screen view.

It’s something I’ve found helpful.

Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 7th April, 2018.

7th April, 2018.

No, really: it’s WAY too early in the morning to be this early in the morning.

Frankly?

I’m actually looking forward to next Saturday.

Granted, I’d be up as early: but I’m pencilled in to be OFF the day before.

Which means I’d be able to get an equally early night.

Right at the moment … ?

That’s got a lot of appeal!
