Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 24-8-2018: Jean-Michel Jarre

24th August, 2018.

I’m definitely feeling a bit dicky this morning, I really am.

The usual trouble: the innards are playing up, again.

To the point where I might just have to phone in ill: I’d rather not be too far away from a toilet … 

The shame of it … ?

Is simply that last night — eating the dinner I think caused the flare up … ? — went well enough that I caught a movie.

Split, so you know.

That was rather good …

Let’s move on, shall we?

Yesterday’s Teaser saw Debbi* putting in her answers: scoring four out of five in the process.

Let’s see how everyone does with today’s questions, shall we?

Here’s yesterday’s questions and answers …

Here’s a thought …

“I think that you have to seriously have fun, or taking serious things in a light way and obviously, for me, before all, music is made of fun and pleasure and excitement.”

Jean Michel Jarre.

And some music …

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

Have a good day.

*        There’s STILL no airdate!   Debbi, it’s getting stupid!   Oh, did I mention I had a (very battered) copy of the book in the picture?   Can’t think where I put it …
