For All Mankind — Series 3 Episode 9 — Coming Home — A Review

2nd April, 2023: ‘Coming Home’.




Yes: it’s officially Sunday.

And … ?

Dinner is officially on.

Frankly?

It’s not Friday: so chips are out … and chilli is in!

Rather than a roast!

Either way … ?

I’m going to be watching TV, tonight.

Yes: episode nine of For All Mankind’s third season.

Frankly?

I’m wanting to find out what happens to Margo in this episode!

Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 3rd April 2023.

3rd April, 2023.


It’s now, officially, Monday.

And … ?

I’m hoping the postman gets here, soon.

I’m desperate to hear how my hearing, last Thursday, went.

Yes: getting some financial help would be nice.

But even getting a ‘No’ would be nice: so long as I get a response, quick!

Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 2-4-2023 — World Autism Awareness Day.

2nd April, 2023: World Autism Awareness Day.


Yes: it’s Sunday.

And events will no doubt be eventuating as they should.

Personally?

One (minor) event for me … is simply that I’ve turned the radio off.

I’ve been finding it more and more distracting, recently: and honestly couldn’t tell you why!

~≈€≈~

That’s not the only event.

Or possibly, non-event.

I had a tribunal on Thursday: appealing a benefits decision that had gone against me.

I’m due to get a decision — by post — 7th April, this year.

This coming Saturday, in other words.

I’m expecting sweet FA.

I’m hoping for extra financial help: but, expecting nothing.

And … ?

Not knowing?   Whilst longingly staring the the sort of things I’d need — or would like — to buy* … ?

Is frustrating … !

~≈€≈~

One LAST event … ?

I’ve finished — and posted — a review of the next episode of Star Trek: Picard.

Star Trek Picard — Series 3 Episode 7 — Dominion — A Review

31st March, 2023: ‘Dominion’.


It’s Friday, again.

You can tell, can’t you … ?

The eternal mystery of why we’re supposed to have fish on a Friday is playing itself in front of me — or, at least, to my immediate right — as I write.

Or, at least, I’ve got fish and chips — and some vegetables — on the go as I speak.

Why … ?

Why not?

~≈🖖≈~

At any rate, there’s something else I’ll be thinking about.

Yesterday?

I had a one hour appeal hearing: about whether I qualified for extra financial help from the Department of Work and Pensions.

Hopefully, I will: but … ?

Until I hear — by post, by the 7th April — I won’t know for sure.

It’s both a mystery … and a mildly frustrating case of wait and see.

~≈🖖≈~

At any rate … ?

And I’ll say it, again … it’s Friday.

Which means simply this.

Once I’ve had dinner, I’ll be watching ‘Dominion’, the next episode of Star Trek Picard’s third and final season.

I’ll have my review up, tomorrow.

See you then!

Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 1-4-2023 — April Fool’s Day!

1st April, 2023: April Fool’s Day.


Yep: it’s officially Saturday.

And … ?

Stuff will no doubt be occurring.

One thing I know I have to do?

Is try not to worry!

I was at a Tribunal, on Thursday: appealing a decision that had gone against me.

And told — at the time — I’d be notified by post, within a week, what would happen, what, if anything, I would be awarded.

Then I got the official email … telling I’d get the letter by Saturday, 7th April!

A couple of days, longer, in other words!

Frankly?

That isn’t exactly reassuring … 

~≈Ç≈~

Rent … 

That’s the other thing I have to do.

My rent, goes up from today.

And, frankly?

I’ve just let the benefits people know: online.

If things need doing, especially things like this … ?

It’s best to do them quickly.
