Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 21st January, 2018.

Bleaugh … 

I think I need more sleep!

Or, at least, I needed more sleep, yesterday.

I REALLY managed to lose my temper — twice — dealing with some awkward punters.

Not a good thing: especially if — as a result — your supervisor tells you to get out of the office, to get some fresh wire and calm down!

I think I managed that … 

But, LORD, what a day … !

~≈Â≈~

Let’s move on, shall we?

Here’s a distinctly fashionable thought …

“Zest is the secret of all beauty. There is no beauty that is attractive without zest.”
Christian Dior, 21 January 1905 – 24 October 1957.

And a tune from Baby Spice … 

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

Have a nice day … 

*        Yeah, I know what you mean, Olga: I’m usually quite shy about using these things, myself.   But know Debbi’s on-screen confidence has come along!   Either way?   I think a two camera set could have its uses … (I’d not mind seeing Philip K. Dick’s Electronic Dreams, myself: I might just have to wait for the box-set.   Hmmm … Am I the only one thinking Bladerunner, back in the day, did him a huge favour … ?)

†        Yeah, the newer ones are capable of 4k footage, aren’t they, Debbi … ?   That could well be useful: although, for now, 720’s good enough for me.   Mind you, something newer … ?   Could do something a lot bigger.   (Hmmm … Two camera setups … any thoughts … ?)
