Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 8th August 2024.

8th August, 2024.

It’s official: it’s Thursday!

And, frankly?

My internal organs seem to be calming down!

I’m thankful!

And farting a lot less!

~≈💨≈~

A few days ago, I reported a huge pile of rubbish: that had been piled up over the road from my flat.

It was cleared up, a couple of days later.

By, I assumed, Brentwood Council.

At least, I assumed the unmarked van the cleared it was from Brentwood Council.

Until I checked my emails: and found the one from the council that said “We’re taking no action: the rubbish is on private land.”

There’s an old saying: that says your left hand should not know what your right hand is doing.

By the look of things … ?

Brentwood Council is trying to practise that!

Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 7th August 2024.

7th August, 2024.

Right … it’s official.

I had a colonoscopy, yesterday.

And … ?

Quite frankly, I’m not feeling as woozy as I was expecting to be.

And I’m trying to remember if the connected the sedative I was supposed to have.

From what I recall?

There wasn’t anything connected to the cannula I had in my left hand.

And the camera I had inserted in my rear??

Felt a little more uncomfortable than the last time I had the procedure.

I’m feeling hungry, sleepy … but definitely not woozy.

On the upside … ?

I have managed to have a couple of polyps removed: and should hear, soon, if they’re benign or otherwise.

Here’s hoping.

~≈🪸≈~

With the riots going on … ?

I’m grateful Brentwood hasn’t been affected.

I’m very aware I live near a mosque: one of the types of place that’s been targeted.

And near a hotel: one that — as far as I know — isn’t putting up asylum seekers.

Like I say: I’m grateful.

What I’m not impressed about … ?

Is Elon Musk getting involved.

Civil war is inevitable

The guy may be a rocket launching genius … but I’d rather he didn’t poke his nose in!

Nik Nak’s Daly Teaser — 6-8-2024 — Killers.

6th August, 2024.

Right then: it’s officially official.

This Teaser post is for Tuesday: but being started on Monday.

Because?

On Tuesday, 6th August, I’ll be at Basildon Hospital: having a colonoscopy.

Hopefully?

I’ll be in the clear.

But if push comes to shove*?

This examination should find anything worrying, ahead of time.

Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 5-8-2024 — Burkina Faso

5th August, 2024: Burkina Faso.

It’s official: I’m not up early!

I’ve taken the day off from my weight management class, today: as I’m having to fast, in preparation for a colonscopy, tomorrow.

Fast … 

And take what’s called a bowel prep.

Frankly?

With the sedatives and relaxants you have to take, the procedure, itself, is uncomfortable, invasive and not necessarily what I’d call fun.

But?

It’s a lot better than the bowel prep!

‘Doubleplusungood’ still seems the only word to use, here!

Especially as I need to stay near a bathroom!

Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 4th August 2024.

4th August, 2024.

It’s Sunday … 

And, frankly … ?

I am tired!

It’s my own damn fault: for binge watching the first series of The Big Bang Series!

~≈¥≈~

If you’re in the UK … ?

You’re possibly aware that newsreader, Huw Edwards, and pled guilty to charges of making and owning indecent images of children.

His former employer, the BBC?

Is now deleting anything that features him from their archive: including from an episode of Dr Who that he appeared in.

That episode’s begin removed, it seems, until Edwards’ part of it can be replaced.

I think I’d be happier if they didn’t.

Although I know Aunty Beeb did something similar with A Fix With Sontarans, the Children in Need special that feature Jimmy Saville.

In the case of Edwards … ?

I think that putting up some sort of trigger warning — as the BBC were once doing with the iPlayer version of Porridge — would be more appropriate.

I’m very aware, though, that Edwards was the face of the BBC’s coverage of both Charles 3rd’s coronation … and the late Queen’s death.

Quite what the BBC will be doing, there … ?

I don’t know.
