Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 30-3-2017: Give God A Solo!

My job has it’s ups and downs, it really does.

It’s a temp job: and the hours vary.

This week?   I’ve two days off: despite my best efforts.

Granted, there’s a downside: less pay for the week.   Although the help I get from Universal Credit helps.

The upside to more time off?

Is I get to get some house work done.

Get seem videos done … 

And, hopefully?

Catch some TV … or possibly a movie.

I DO know I caught the last two episodes of season one of Stranger Things, last night.

I know I was impressed.

Have a good day!

*        Morning, Mr S … !

†        It seemed appropriate, Debbi: to be honest, Leaving was a last minute addition!   Actually?   My sisters and I grew up on Grandma’s Feather Bed: that ‘soft as a downy chick,’ line always grabbed me.   At least … it did when I eight!

‡        Actually, Olga, today’s got a bit of a musical theme: in case you wanted to pinch it, for the show.   I have to admit, the first time I saw I, Claudius?   It took me a dog’s age to recognise Brian Blessed: he’d shaved the beard off.   Sounds like your cousin’s going to be seriously missed …
