Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 28th February, 2018

28th February, 2018.

And when I say ‘Morning’ … ?

I mean ‘Good Morning’.


Of course I do … !

The fact I’m up this early, to get to work for nine?

Only adds to the whatever it is I think needs adding to at this time of the morning!

*Yawn.*

The fact we now have snow, out there … ?

Only adds to the whatever factor.

As well as to my trip to work …

And a song …


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

Have a good day.




*        Hmmm … we got a lots of powder snow, yesterday, Olga.   Frankly?   That got me thinking it would all blow over.   This morning, we’ve got snow, it’s -4° … and there’s Amber alerts.   If Penistone’s anything like Brentwood, you’re possibly better off in Wales!

†        Right at the moment, Debbi, I’d take Earthquakes and extortionate prices along side the  sunshine.   It’s … well, it’s not warm, right now!

    I suspect you are right. It got quite cold here and there was snow this morning but it's been sunny so some of it has melted. My friends have left today and I hope they'll make the airport (they were flying from Heathrow) all right. Unfortunately, the oldest of the dogs has recently developed heart problems, is on medication, and can't really go for very long walks, so I'll have to see how I manage (she is 12, so she's getting on, although she seems to be responding quite well to the medication). It's supposed to be snowing more tomorrow and Friday, but with the health of the oldest dog as it is, I don't think we were planning on very long walks. But my friends have plenty of movies for me to watch and I have to catch up on some reading, so I should not be bored...
    Do take care.

I love it when someone comments. But, having had anonymous comments I feel may be libellous, actionable or just plain offensive, over the years?

I’d appreciate you* leaving your name — with a link to your website or social-media profile†, for preference — before you post a comment.

Should you choose to use a pseudonym/name, I’d appreciate it if that name were to be polite and inoffensive. I’d rather you kept it clean, and relatively grown up. Comments left with a pseudonym will be posted at my discretion: I really prefer a link.

Contentious, actionable or abusive posts left anonymously will not be posted. Nor will comments using offensive pseudonyms or language, or that are abusive of other commenters.

Thank you.

*   I know many value their online privacy. I respect that. But hope you respect my wish to see who’s commenting on my blog: and my wish for you to introduce your self to me, and to your fellow commentors.
