Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 4-1-2024 — Burmese Days

4th January, 2025: Burmese Days.

Right … it’s now, officially, Saturday!

Yay!

Again!

At any rate, it’s not a day where I’m planning to do much … beyond wait.

I’ve applied for a bus pass that it seems I’m eligible for.

Only the site I’ve applied to keeps reject my documents.

Why?

I don’t know.

Frustrating, eh … ?

~≈🚍≈~

JUST as a though … ?

Yes: my nephew, Jude was here, yesterday.

And?

Just as a change of pace, made a video about Armagetron Advanced … !

Enjoy that!

~≈🏍️≈~

Let’s move on.


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

The day also saw Olga§ leaving us a message.

Let’s see how everyone does with today’s questions, shall we?

Thank you for coming: have a good day.

*        Hello, Mum!

†        Enjoy them, Debbi!   (The bluray of the first series is listed on the US branch of Amazon:   from ~$31 to ~$62.   There’s a region free version listed for $52.82.   I don’t know if that’s any encouragement, though.)
