Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 22nd September, 2017

Hmmm … 

I think I’m going to have to keep an eyeball open, there.

It’s — relatively — early in the morning: and I’ve just had an old friend, Faye, contact me, via Facebook’s Messenger service.

Apparently?

There’s a new series out, called Channel Zero: she caught the first episode of the second series on YouTube, last night.

Considering Faye had recommended Martyrs to me?   Which was something I enjoyed … ?

Well … I may have to have a look around for it … 

~≈Ÿ≈~

Let’s move on, shall we?

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

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

“You and I, Sam, are still stuck in the worst places of the story, and it is all too likely that some will say at this point: ‘Shut the book now, dad; we don’t want to read any more.’”

Frodo Baggins, born 22rd September, TA 2968.

And a song … 

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

Have a good day.

*        You know, I’ve never actually put AdBlock on my phone, Olga.   As attractive as it, and things like SnapChat actually are … ?   I’ve run out of space … !   Now you mention it?   I don’t actually use Siri — or the Google equivalent on my phone/tablet — that much.   I like typing!

†        Yep, Debbi: I’m not someone who makes use of an e-reader.   Mostly, it’s a lack of cash.   I’ve an Android tablet I could use: but it means putting cash on it, cash I’d rather spend on an iTunes card, so I can rent a movie.   And I’ve am older iPod touch I could use as an e-reader, and could use my iTunes account with … but frankly, the screen’s too small!   (And I’d get distracted by Tetris Blitz … !)
