Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 18th October, 2021.

18th October, 2021. 

It’s a Monday morning.

You’ve possibly noticed, haven’t you?

And frankly, the start of a new week.

Which means … ?

Not much.

My benefit’s gone down: it’s frightening to see by exactly how much.

Wondering how I and others managed, prior to the Pandemic?

Is depressing.

To say the least.

*        That it is, Edith.   I had another look at the first one, yesterday: it really does make the Daleks sound odd!

‡        Funny old thing, Olga, I saw Marina’s surname and thought “Gosh, that’s familiar!”   Ahem!   I can’t think why it grabbed me!   All I need now is a Mack, Reuwer and another Downieª, and I’m laughing!

        And cheers: I slept a bit better!

^        Cheers, Debbi!   And I’ll know the spelling for later … !   And replied to the email … !   You have a  packet or several heading your way … !

        Hmmm … What are you planning for Black Friday?   Amazon usually have deals on external drives, if needed … !
