The Daily Teaser — 13-5-2016: In Cars

Right … I’m back to work, today: on a long shift.

Frankly … ?

I am hoping to be able to take in my usual array of medications: specifically the one that helps my guts.

Although I’m starting to wonder how much help that actually IS … !

Some, at least: I’m ALSO thinking laying off the cola, and drinking more water, could be useful.

But, if I can make a confession?

It’s starting to get to me.

I like to think of myself as relatively tough.

But on-going stomach troubles?

These on-going stomach troubles are decidedly wearing!

~≈Ü≈~

But let’s move on, shall we?

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

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

Here they are, along with the How To, License and video …

And this tune … 

Have a good day … !

*        Cheers, Olga!   (I know I’ve got blood tests on Monday, I’m due an ultra-sound, and I’m seeing my GP, again, at the start of June.   It’s the unpredictability … AND the length of time it s taking!)

†        Hanging in, by the proverbial skin of the teeth, Debbi!   Where the hell DOES that phrase come from?   Oh … it’s biblical …
