Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 10-3-2017

Hmmm … 

I’m back to work, again: and having a long weekend of it!

As part of a short week!

Granted, that means I’ll have less pay next week: and, yes, before you ask, I AM putting in for other jobs.

Who knows what’ll happen, there.

At any rate?

Yes, I’ve had a short week.

But, yes: I managed to watch a film: and catch the opening episodes of Stranger Things.

That’s a rather fun piece of TV …

†        Scary doesn’t start, Debbi: I’m just glad I don’t have a smart TV.   None of them can record, for a start!   I DO know Wikileaks is going to be giving the relevant files to the various tech companies involved: before they publication.   (Talking of scary, have you seen Stranger Things?   It’s set in 1983: and there’s a scary amount of typewriters around.   AND people smoking!)
