Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 16-2-2017

*Yawn* … 

I think I can safely say I’m knackered.

Which will probably turn around … once I either get more sleep, or get more to eat … 

The good thing … ?

The good thing is that today is a day off.

I’ll be able to get some Teaser videos done, and maybe todd a coin.

After all … 

I’ve more episodes of Mr Robot to catch up with … 

Oh, and a copy of The Cabinet of Dr Caligari.

I’ll probably end up tossing a coin …

*        Oh, don’t worry, Debbi, I don’t think any one could make it any worse!   :D   And I’ve quietly had one smug married woman tell me she wouldn’t say no to a card from me.    So there’s an upside, there … !   Blimey, didn’t know Humans had reached the US: Emily Berrington, as Niska?   Ist’ fantastic.   (If ever the Sapphire & Steel remake goes ahead, she’d be great as Steel.   No, Steel: gender hopping genre, sci-fi …)
