Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 11th September, 2019

19th September, 2019.

Yes: I’m shaggy.

No: not that Shaggy!

I don’t speak Jamaican English that well.

No: I’m thinking that I need a haircut.

And think I’ve just enough cash to afford one.

~≈¥≈~

Oh, remember the interview I had, last week?

No, I’ve still not heard: one way or the other.

And frankly, don’t expect to.

However?

I have been contacted by one member of the company’s Human Resources department about it.

Apparently?

They’re going to look into it, and let me know.

Frankly, I’m sceptical about hearing anything further.

But, at least, I’ve had some sort of response.

Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 10th September, 2019.

10th September, 2019.

Right … 

I can officially — ha! — say that I managed to catch some TV, last night.

The first episode of Chernobyl, so you know.

It’s … 

Well, it looks rather good: and will do me good, until my favourites re-start.

Or El Ministerio del Tiempo’s fourth season turns up!

~≈§≈~

As for Parliament?   At least the House of Commons?

Well … ?

I know my usual position is the PMQs — Prime Minister’s Questions —is possibly the most entertaining thing on TV: especially given the Brexit situation.

It turns out that — in watching Chernobyl? — I managed to get to bed early.

The parliamentary rioting didn’t finish until about two in the morning.

~≈§≈~

To top everything else?

I have a meeting at the Job Centre on Friday: quite why, I don’t know.

The problem?

Is that the central office tell me it’s at the office around the corner from me.

Of course … the the actual office … have told me the Job centre’s moved to the Town Hall.

I think the word is Hmmm …

Chernobyl — Series 1 Episode 1: 1:23:45 — A Review

9th September, 2019.

OK … 

I have to confess, I was complaining, this morning.



That there was nothing good on TV.

Well … 


There’s possibly plenty.

But nothing that had been grabbing me.

Given I’d had a quiet day?



Doing nothing more than light shopping, cleaning, laundry — oh boy, laundry — and filming for the blog.

Oh … 

And sorting out an issue with the benefit office: they want me to go into for a meeting.



Except, of course, the central office has told me it’s at the benefit office around the corner from me … 



Which, I was informed last week, was shut last Friday.



Apparently?

The new office is in the town hall … 

Where do I go … ?

I think I’ll have to make phone calls … 

~≈¥≈~



That, of course … ?



Is sort of beside the point.

I wanted TV … 



I wanted TV, tonight … 



And think I found an interesting little historical thriller.



Chernobyl … 

~≈¥≈~

Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 9-9-19: Emergency Services Day

9th September, 2019.

Right, it’s a Monday, off.

And one that’s shaping up to be quiet.

And, right now?

Right now, I’m thinking I maybe need to see something interesting on TV.

Except, of course, I’m very aware that Mr Robot, The Man in the High Castle and Dr Who, aren’t going to start for a while, yet.

That’s mildly frustrating … 

And means I’ll have to see what I can dig up in the meantime …

Memory: The Origins of Alien — A Review

8th September, 2019.

Yes: it’s a Sunday night off.



A night off at the ned of a day where … 

Where … 



Well, I’ve not actually done much: bar had dinner at my family’s.

Apparently?

My nephew, Jude, wants to bring his friend Archie, over to mine.

Making videos seem to have caught someone’s attention.

I’m not sure how I feel about that, though.



Babysitting my nephew’s one thing.

Looking after someone else kid, as well … ?

Well … 

That’s another matter … 

~≈§≈~



At any rate … ?

At any rate?



A night off … ?



Means watching something on telly.

Or, at least, catching something on the AppleTV.

And, although I’ve plenty of choice, at the moment … ?

I felt that a documentary could be the thing.

Given this week saw the fortieth anniversary of the UK release of Alien?

I felt watching the documentary about it — Memory: The Origins of Alien — would be an idea …
