Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 25th April 2026. (Six Questions)

25th April, 2026.

I can only assume one thing.

That the US President is asleep on the job …

I’ve got a box set on order: from Amazon.

Or, at least, I have a blu-ray boxset on order: from a third party seller on Amazon.

Here’s hoping it does.

With my building’s aerial still out of commission, I’d appreciate having something to watch!

*        Hello, Mum!

†        Sorry, Debbi, it’s St. Ives in what was Huntingdonshire, and now Cambridgeshire.   It’s a bit like Washington: there’s a couple of them in the UK.   (Hang on, you trust Google⁉️)

        Have you seen The Picture of Dorian Gray?   The 1945 version with George Sanders?   It’s worth watching …
