Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 6-9-2017

Handy!

I’ve just had next week’s rota in.

As I’ve actually got next weekend — the 15th to the 17th — off!

The first one I’ve had for a while.

Frankly?

I’m looking forward to it.

OK, granted, I won’t be doing much more than usual.

And I’m working a lot of nights between now and than.

But still … 

It’s a weekend off …

“I did green screen for the first time! I wouldn’t like to do a whole movie of green screen, though. You kind of forget the plot a little - like being in a Broadway play and doing it over and over and forgetting your line halfway through.”

Idris Elba,  born 6th September, 1972.

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

Have a nice day.

*        Yes, I remember that, Trevor: although that was on the other side of the hill from my place.   And, as far as I could see that was a drug seal gone badly wrong.   And, yeas, Murphy’s has shut: I heard it’s going to be turned into a restaurant.   (It’s a screaming shame, Wendy the landlady, managed to keep the place incredibly busy.    She always was competent: I worked with her at the New World Inn.)
