Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 15th December 2024.

15th December, 2024.

Right … I’ve officially been twitting about with the new Image Playground app.

And … ?

Well, possibly surprised a few friends on Facebook.

Don’t ask!

At any rate … ?

I did some tweaking to some of the wallpapers I’ve built up: and used it for the introduction video.

Heigh-ho!

~≈🖼️≈~

Hmm … 

I’ve woken up, this morning, to … … cold water!

And?

I’ve needed to reset my boiler.

I’ll be honest: I think I’m going to need to keep an eye open …

~≈♨️≈~

Let’s move on.


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

“Anyone who says there isn’t pressure to look good as an actor in L.A. is lying.”

Camilla Luddington, born 15 December 1983.

A song …

 And a bloody persistant earworm … !

The next large question set is on the 31st of December.


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



Decisions about scores are final.

Thank you for coming: have a good day.

*        Hello, Mum!

†        Did you mean lemon pips, Olga?   Rather than peeps?   Only you’ve got me thinking of an old Harry Enfield character!

        At any rate … ?   Only Lovers Left Alive is another film I keep mean to watch.   Partly because I know of Jim Jarmusch’s reputation: but also because it’s got Tilda Swinton in a starring role.   She’s very worth watching, I found.

        Yeah: Trump seem’s to have been elected on a legitimate majority, this time.   I still feel that’s unfortunate for the USA … 

‡        Would limes have been rationed in the US, Debbi?   I always understood that part of what the Allies — and Axis — powers were keen to have the US as an ally was because it had huge, and unrationed, resources.   Fruit included.   (The Nazis were scared of citrus fruit: and would surrender if you threw .302 caliber limes at them.)
