Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 24th November, 2018.

24th November, 2018.

It’s a Saturday morning, and here I am … 

Not exactly financially able to get out and splurge.

But there you go … 

If nothing else, though?

I know I’ve had a brief chat with one of the staff at the local job centre: and found there’s help some financial help available.

And implied there’s help available should I want to put in for a provisional drivers license.

Which would come in handy in situations where I need ID.

Here’s hoping I can do something about that: no ID has cost me one job interview, already …

Let’s move on, shall we?

And, as the vocals are done by birthday boy, Bev Bevan, a song by The Move …

Today’s questions will be answered in tomorrow’s Teaser.

Have a good day.

*        I’d heard that, too, Olga: that’s Portugal’s gorgeous.   Mind you, the one workmate I know who’d frequently say that … was Portuguese.   Hmmmm … maybe I should Paulo about fried things, the next time I see him!   The interview went well: but won’t know until Monday.   I’m not getting me hopes up.   (You know, with all this free time?   The Ministry of Time’s something I have time for.   We’ll see.)

†        That’s always the way, I think, Debbi: there’s always going to be revisions needed!   You know, merchandisers LOVE cult TV shows.   So do some actors.   Colin Baker keeps saying it’s a job for life!   Actually … remember the The Five(ish) Doctors Reboot thing that aired over the Dr Who 50th anniversary?   I keep thinking casting Davison, Baker and McCoy in a TV detective show would work!   (Unfortunately, someone’s already used The Three Investigators as a title.)
