Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 3rd September, 2021.

3rd September, 2021.

Yes: it’s true … 

I’ve got a video meeting, today, at the Job Centre in Basildon.

One of the usual ones I have every two to three weeks.

This could be a key one.

I’m signed off ill, at the moment.   The fit note that covers this runs out on the 5th: so I have to make sure the Job Centre know’s my GP’s surgery has told me I can only order the next on on the 6th.

I’m also supposed to have been sent a form to fill in.

That’s not turned up, yet.

All that … ?

And I’m supposed to buy milk, bread and pick up some medications in town!

It’s a busy day, ahead … !

“I have the face of an aging choirboy and the build of an undernourished featherweight.   If you can figure out my success on the screen you’re a better man than I.”

Alan Ladd, September 3, 1913 – January 29, 1964.

And a song …

Feel free to share today’s video Teaser.

Have a good day.

*        Hello, Mum!

†        Arrgh!   I’m blaming the Encyclopedia Britannica, there, Olga: they don’t separate births and deaths in the same way as Wikipedia.

        You know, the heat and rain’s possibly why Seville’s famous for oranges.   (You know … I’ve never actually seen The Barber of Seville.   That’s possibly a loss.   I get the impression, thought, that most are in French, German or Italian: which are on a par with my Spanish!)

‡        Hats as well, Trevor?   I’m just thankful we didn’t have them!

^        Very true, Debbi, very true.   Did I tell you I saw Nosferatu, a few years ago?   I don’t know that I was impressed … 

ª        Thanks for coming along, Robin: I know how busy you’ve been …
