Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 5th June, 2023.

5th June, 2023.

Arrrgh … 

It’s Monday morning, and I’m up early: to go to my weight management class.

Provisionally … ?

I think I’ve lost something.

But here’s hoping.

At any rate … ?

When you want to get out early … ?

That’s not the time for YouTube to play Silly Buggers!

~≈Ç≈~

Moving on, briefly: and with an awareness of the time?

I’m out of work: and claiming benefits.

So?

Take an interest in news about the benefits system.

Including anything about a proposed Basic Income system.

It is — so you know — an benefit that’s not means tested, and at a level guaranteed to keep people above the poverty level.

It sounds good: but I’ve always felt that some of the schemes proposed are … possibly impractical.

At any rate … ?

According to a BBC report?   It seems that a think tank called Autonomy are to run a small scale — very small scale, some thirty people big — pilot: and are seeking financial backing for it.

The BBC’s piece give very little in further detail: beyond the fact the scheme is supposed to pay some £1, 600 a month.

An amount that I’d find useable.

Quite what the practicalities of the scheme would be?

After all, there’s extra funds available to those of us on Universal Credit, and not on others: and if we’re on UC, we can claim free prescriptions, and various forms of medical treatment.

Whether those thirty people could claim those, is a whole other matter.

Either way?

I can only hope this project gets the backing it needs: and can produce useful results.

Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 4-6-2023 — Video Killed the Radio Star.

4th June, 2023.

Right … it’s a Sunday.

And you’ve possibly noticed I’ve not through in any variation of the word, ‘official’, there!

I’m in a funny mood!

At any rate … ?

I had my nephew, Jude, over, yesterday.

We managed to visit a local games shop called Retro Giant: where a couple of games caught his eye.

Oh, and yes: he’s done a video about a drink, and a movie … 

~≈Í≈~

Just as a quick thought … ?

The cost of living is getting worse!

Trust me on that!

So … ?

This page on the BBC’s site … ?

Will probably give us something to think about.

Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 3-6-2023 — World Bicycle Day.

3rd June, 2023: World Bicycle Day.

Yes: it’s officially official.

I’ve woken up, this morning … with a runny nose.

I’m blowed if I know why.

But I hate it when my nose is dripping!

Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 2nd June 2023.

2nd June, 2023.

Right … it’s Friday: and … ?

Well I’ve had the Ozempic, already.

I’ve enough for two more weeks … so will probably need to look at what’s happening!

At any rate … ?

It’s a Friday: an overcast Friday that’s supposed to be getting sunny, later.

We’ll see.

You know, if you’re in the UK, you’ve possibly have seen the news.

The story about Phillip Schofield leaving the This Morning show, after revealing he’d had an affair at work.

He was definitely out of sorts in the interview he did for the BBC.

He has — as he famously said! — has done something unwise: but not illegal.

I’ll be honest: I think he’s getting maybe a bit too much press coverage.

After all, he’s done nothing worse than Bill Clinton, John Major or David Mellor.

Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 1-6-2023 — The Month of June.

1st June, 2023: The Month of June.

Yes: it’s official gone quiet.

But … ?

I woke up to birdsong, this morning.

OK, granted … it’s been overwhelmed by the commuter traffic heading for work … ?

But it was nice to hear!
