Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 6th March, 2022.

6th March, 2022.

Yep: it’s thumb twiddling day!

I’ve actually got a Sunday where I’ve little to do: beyond finishing a batch of videos.

I’m fully expecting to be twiddling my thumbs for a bit.

Or, at least?   By writing up seem bits for my, eventual, reviews of the current series of Star Trek: Picard, and Star Trek: Discovery.

We’ll have to see if I can start watching those, soon.

~≈§≈~

Let’s move on, shall we?

Yesterday’s Teaser saw Mum*, Olga† and Debbi‡ putting in their answers: with everyone scoring five out of five.

†        Playmobil … ?   Good lord, is that still being made, Olga!?   Well, I never!

        That it has, Olga.   Remember me mentioning an operating system called ReactOS?   The one that can — in theory — replace Windows?   AND use Windows apps?   That’s the ones various Russian government bodies have been interested in … 

‡        I’l have to put that on my Watch Later list, Debbi!   Too many shows, not enough time!   What DOES that sound familiar … !?
