Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 10-8-2018: International Biodiesel Day

10th August, 2018.

Hmmm … 

The milk’s off.

Which is awkward.

For one thing?   Today’s a busy day, what with bills, teaser videos, shopping, more teaser videos, getting to bed, early, teaser videos, and good knows what else?

I’m on a time budget.

Oh … 

And I’m due a blood test, as well!

I think, though … that shopping at Iceland, again, will be … unwise …

“The biodiesel we use is 100 percent, it has no petroleum in it. It was already used in fryers throughout our local area. It’s already had one life and now it’s going to be used again, which is nice.”

Daryl Hannah.

And a song …

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

Have a good day.

*        Actually, Olga: management used to send out the rotas.   In point of fact, the last time this happened?   I had a copy on the trusty MacPro that I could screen shot and send back with a snotty message!   What can I tell you … ?   As for wildfires … ?   Sounds like they’re looking nasty, over there.   What amazes me, is the ones we’ve had in the UK.   At least Saddleworth is out …

†        Actually, Debbi: I get the impression it’s the State Department who imposed the tariffs.   Can I ask you to have a word, please?
