Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 15-9-2017

Right … it’s official … 

I’m on holiday … !

Well, ok, annual leave.

Just for this weekend: I’m back at work on Monday.

And, to be honest?   I’m not going to be doing much more than house, and TV watching.

With possibly a bit of gaming, as well.

Either way … ?

I’ve got some much needed time off ahead of me.

That’s something I’m thankful for.

“King Kong is my friend. He’s been my public relations man for years. It was an extraordinarily good role, but the richness of the role that I had in The Wedding March appealed to me more.”

Fay Wray, September 15, 1907 – August 8, 2004.

And a song … 

Today’s questions will be answered in tomorrow’s Teaser.

Have a good day!

*        Oh, I don’t know, Olga, you’re multilingual: that’s a talent worth having!   I keep thinking of the … oh what’s it called, Sapir Whorf Hypothesis?   If I’ve got it right, it’s the idea the languages we speak influences how we think, and how we can think: an extra one gives us an extra thinking tool in the box.   (You can speak Spanish and English: so you’ve got a screwdriver and a spanner.   Debbi can speak American English, and understand British English: so she’s got a multi-headed screwdriver.   I’ve just got a screwdriver.   Oh, I can add basic html tags to my blog post: I don’t know if that counts … ?)

†        :D   I’ll keep my eyes open, Debbi: I’ve actually got some time off, today!   Hope you don’t mind the screwdriver comparison, there, Debbi!   (Don’t know if you’d be up for it, Debbi, but I’ve been using a couple of VERY basic html for a while: VERY handy if you need to add a link in a pre-prepared piece …)
