Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 3-3-2020: Bulgaria

3rd March, 2020.


Yes, it’s officially official.

I have a condition … !

I got a call from my GP’s, yesterday: after having some blood tests, last week.

I — after an initial mix up — called called, yesterday, for some additional tests.

Including a urine test, I should add: very entertaining pots, those … 

A—hem!

At any rate, extra tests.

The net result of those tests?

Seemingly, my glucose level is about double what it should be.

There was a few other bits and bobs in there, as well.

But basically?

It turns out I’m diabetic*.

Type one or type two, I don’t know: yet.

I’ve got my very first diabetes review, today, at 11:50.

We’ll have to see what happens.

Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 2-3-2020: Old Texas

2rd March, 2020.


Ye lord, I’m tired … 

Perils of late night blogging.   About Dr Who.


What can I tell you … ?

At ANY rate … ?

At any rate, it’s my birthday on Wednesday: and I got treated to a meal and a ten pin bowling session.

Jude was happy: Mummy managed to beat both of us … !

At ANY rate … ?

Ruth’s got a spare laptop: one running Windows Seven.

Which, given the OS is no longer receiving security update?   She’s ask me to put an alternative on.

I think I should be able to do that … 

I just need to pick up the power cable!

Doctor Who — Series 12: Episode 10 — The Timeless Children — A Review

1st March, 2020.


It’s a Sunday … 

You know this, already.

And, if you anything like me?

On a night when there’s nothing to do, you’ll end up doing a few things.

You’ll need up trying to keep yourself yourself occupied.

What do you do, out of interest?   Watch the big match?   Read a book?   Recreational somethings?

I’m pretty sure you can let me know.

Speaking personally?

I’d rather not spend my time with beer: I spent too many years as a barman.

I — occasionally — spend time with friends and family.

It’s my birthday, on Wednesday: so I got treated to a meal, and a session of ten pin bowling, with my sister and nephew.

Ruth won, with a total of ninety-seven points.   I came in second, Jude came in last.

I don’t think Jude was happy, either!

He’s healthily competitive.

At any rate … ?

Tonight is Sunday night.

Which, over the past few months … ?

Means I’m watching just the one TV show.

Yes: I’ve seen the final episode of Doctor WhoSeries 12.

There’s a possibility of a meaningful look.

Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 1-3-2020: Saint David’s Day

1st March, 2020


Yes: it’s official.

I’ve got an earworm: Eric Idle’s Galaxy Song.


But … ?

Whatever’s going on in my head is weird, frankly.

Because what ever was going on … ?   Wouldn’t let me remember the lyrics.

Damn you, Eric Idle!

Terminator: Dark Fate — A Review

29th February, 2020.


It has to be said, it’s a spare Saturday evening.

No cash to go out, little to do if I did have cash … 

And frankly … ?

A mood bordering on the thoughtful … 

If nothing else … ?

I fancied a film.

I’ve a few sitting in my collection that needed viewing: and one or two had been suggested to me.
Teaser regular, Olga had suggested I Am Not A Serial Killer.   Which was in the collection, at some point: but is maybe for another time.

The Girl on the Third Floor was another: I’d seen it float past on a Facebook group I belong to.

Possibly not … 

Candyman?   The 1992 horror film: a remake of which is due out this year … ?

Possibly: a post would get a lot of views … 

But maybe not yet … 

I finally … went with Terminator: Dark Fate.

Am I convinced … ?
