Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 9th December, 2019.

9th December, 2019.


Right, then: it’s Monday morning.

And I’m back at my course, today.

I’m looking forward to it.

It gets me out of the house, and doing something: even if I think the thing’s make-work.

And, strangely?

Our tutor’s getting mice for the laptop’s we use: after a lot of complaint!

We’ve something to look forward too.

The Man in the High Castle — Series 4 Episodes 9: Episode 9 For Want of a Nail — A Review

8th December, 2019.


Yes: it’s officially official: I am back at the course, tomorrow.

I’m job hunting, at the moment: and, if you’ve been following me for a while?

You’ll know I’m on a short course designed to improve my employment prospects.

I’m back there, tomorrow: and looking forward to it: as it gets me out of the house.

The real killer?

We have laptops … and our tutor’s decided to get mice for them.

Little things mean a lot.

~≈Î≈~

At any rate … ?

It’s the Sunday night before I go back.

And frankly?

I want to go to bed early … but want to tell you about a TV show.

Yep: you’re right … I’ve seen the ninth episode of The Man in the High Castle’s fourth season.

Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 8-12-2019: The Island Of Ireland

8th December, 2019


It’s true … 

At least I think it’s true.

Today is a slow news-day!

For a start?

I’ve got a quiet day ahead of me.

And a quiet day behind me.

Although — to be fair — I did manage to catch the bus into town, yesterday.

On an old fashioned, green double decker*: complete with a conductor with an old fashioned ticket machine.




What can I tell you?

Bar it was a nice bit of retro technology.

Especially when you saw how many people were taking photos of the thing.

There’s possibly an irony, there.

The Man in the High Castle — Series 4 Episodes 8: Hitler Has Only Got One Ball — A Review

7th December, 2019.


Yep: it’s Saturday evening!

And, if you read today’s Daily Teaser?

You’ll realise I had a few things planned.

Which I managed to get done.

Including sending the first batch of this year’s Christmas cards.

What it didn’t include … ?   Was the old fashioned green double decker that I managed to get on, to get to town.



A double decker bus complete with a driver, and a conductor: with one of those old fashioned ticket machines.

With the buttons and the handle?   Lord knows what they’re called … !

Either way?

It was nice to see.

~≈¥≈~

Either way … ?

Either way, I have to make a confession … ?

With nothing else to do, I made sure I watched a TV show.

Yes: you guessed it … The eighth episode of The Man in the High Castle fourth season …

Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 7th December, 2019

7th December, 2019.


Right … 

It’s no a weekend: which means I can do stuff I’ve been wanting to catch up with for a few days.

Mostly?

Mostly shopping, picking up medications, making videos … 

That sort of stuff!

I do know I’m looking forward to Monday, and going back on my course.

If for no other reason than the fact that our tutor’s decided to buy mice: we’re all complaining about the track pads on the laptops we’re using … 

~≈É≈~

I’ll be frank?

I’m a Dr Who fan: and have been since boyhood.

So I was rather pleased, when the BBC unveiled a quick glimpse of Series twelve’s first episode: the Stephen Fry starring, Spyfall.


I don’t know about you, but I’m intrigued.
