Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 24th September, 2017

Ye gods, I’ve just realised something.

My next day off is Thursday!

Means … well … 

Possibly, quite a lot!

I do know it’s going to be a bit of a slog, though.

Especially as I’m doing a 41 week, next week.

Still … 

It pays for Christmas …

Let’s move on, shall we?

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

“I would travel only by horse, if I had the choice.”

Linda McCartney, September 24, 1941 – April 17, 1998.

And, as it’s Gerry Marsden’s birthday, a tune … 

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

Have a nice day … 

*        It’s worth a go, Olga‡: the set design of Meanwhile City is gorgeous!

†        You should see Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday, Debbi‡: BIT of a theme thing going on … !   (Franklyn’s set design is … ummm … )

‡        Actually, Debbi, Olga … ?   Are we both OK with the five questions themed sets?   Much as I prefer doing the ten question themed Teasers — they’re built on templates I used for table rounds, when I hosted pub quizzes — there’s time when the shorter form is all I have time to write.
