Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 14th August, 2018

14th August, 2018.

Right … 

I’ve had a bed week at work, it has to said.

Bed week?

BAD week!

I’m right: when, in the intro video, I say I want to go back to bed!

It’s possibly a good way of spending my time!

~≈§≈~

Oh, as a thought … ?

You’ve possibly realised that long time Old Peculiar contributor, Debbi Mack, has — appropriately — a Mac.

AND a lot of recording gear.

Oh, and a copy of Final Cut Pro: a touch more feature rich than iMovie.

Given that … ?   Let me present …

It Happened in Howard County … 

~≈§≈~

Oh, I’ve just had a quick look at a post — about left-handedness — I shared on Facebook, yesterday.

I think it’s going to generate arguments: about eating left handed.

Just so you know, the definition I heard, was not about which way around you use a knife and fork.

It’s the hand you use a spoon: or a fork on it’s own.

I’m a southpaw.   I use my left hand, so you know.

*        Blimey, that Micheal Moore gig must have been something to see, Olga!   Best I could mange was Dave Gorman … oh, and Dave Allen … !   Allen managed to do the best heckler put down I’ve seen.   You had to be there … !   (Penciling in Bowling for Columbine seems really relevant!)

†        Is it JUST me, Debbi, or does that mini documentary look familiar?   I hope it helps!   (X years blogging means I can find the Embed code: at least, on YouTube.   Vimeo’s a bit different.)
