Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 5-10-2025 — “Love Me Do”

5th October, 2025: “Love Me Do”.

It’s officially official: courtesy of the local barbers, I’ve had a haircut!

I’m thankful!

Frankly, I was getting a little bit shaggy.

I’m not one for dancing: or watching people dance.

Or watching dance competitions.

But I’m very aware that Alex Kingston — best known as Dr Who’s River Song — is taking part in this year’s version of Strictly Come Dancing.

And is at the top of the leader board, after last night’s samba.

Well done, her!

~≈💃🏽≈~

Decisions about scores are final.

Thank you for coming: have a good day.

*        Yeah, I saw those reports, too, Olga.   And messy is putting it mildly.   These situations will be, I think: the old cliché, about the ‘fog of war’ springs to mind.   Either way?   I’m glad these things are rare.

        Have a good day, today!

†        Hello, Mum!   (It was ‘England’ I wanted, Mum, rather than ‘Shanklin’.)

‡        Tall, you say, Debbi … ?   I’d probably get a good view of their nostrils, then!

        Hopefully, today’s are just as short … um … 

        Did I mention Alex Kingston knows how to dance?   Alex Kingston knows how to dance!
