Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 26th March, 2018.

26th March, 2018.

Yep: it’s official.

If you’ve got facial paralysis of some description?   Eating is either fun, or bloody messy.   I had a bowl of cornflakes, yesterday: most of which ended up by my left foot.

Don’t even ask about French sticks.   I can’t get my mouth open wide enough!

~≈§≈~

As for tablets?

Seriously, I hate missing my alarm in the morning.

It’s a long standing bugaboo.

These days?

I make use of my phone: or my tablet.   Usually just the tablet.

Unless, of course, I — HA! — forget to plug the thing’s charger in, and so, not have an alarm clock.

You have to love a weekend like that … !

~≈§≈~

Here’s a thought …

“I won’t mention names, but in my career, the most talented people invariably are the easiest and nicest to get along with.   The ones that are difficult try to camouflage the fact that they haven’t got shit to offer.   So they complain about frilly things that really don’t mean a shit, like their dressing rooms, makeup.”

James Caan, born March 26, 1940.

And a song‡ …

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

Have a good day.

*        Difficult doesn’t start, Olga!   I can’t go near cornflakes or peas at the moment: anything else can be cut into the right sized pieces, but cornflakes and peas … !   Cornflakes aside, I’m very self conscious about it …   At ANY rate, I’ve a weeks worth of meds: and I’m going to try and look into my GP’s to see what they say.   (It’s eight tablets in one go: in one go!   I told Debbi I’d be rattling … which I think is understating it!)

†        I know I’m making a mess with cornflakes, Debbi: and peas.   I’m eyeing the beans I’ve got in the fridge and thinking that’s possibly possibly something to put on hold … !   I need a bib!   

‡        Have you heard of one of Lenny Henry’s wilder characters: one called Theophilus P. Wildebeest?   I’m convinced he’d been watching a few too many Teddy Prendergrass video …
