Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 11th October, 2017

Hmmm … 

You’ve possibly worked it out: if you’re following me on Twitter.

I didn’t get the job I was after.

Which is … annoying: especially given it was very local.

I’ll survive: but it IS annoying.

~≈Â≈~

I actually made the announcement?

Just before — last night — I managed to catch a film: the interesting looking, Lights Out.

Hmmm … 

It’s good: even down to the twist ending.

I’m just thinking I could have been better off, watching more episodes of House of Cards.

~≈Â≈~

*        That’s always the thing that appealed about Barcelona, when we went through it, Olga: it’s fairly flat!   And I seem to recall bits of Northern England are … well, gnarly … !    (Oh, didn’t know if you saw The big speech from Carles Piugdemont, but it sounds like talks are possibly on the way… !)

‡        They’re both good, Debbi: although I was mildly annoyed the film missed out my favourite bit: the bit in the Mended Drum, where the regulars are arranging the bar fight.    It’s hysterical … !
