Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 8th September, 2018.

8th September, 2018.

Yes, it’s damn early: I am, after all, heading into work for ten.

And, yes: that’s a hijacked road runner at the end of that video.

Blame it on the hour.

At any rate … ?

I have to admit, I’m … feeling mildly impatient.

You’re very aware I’m an ageing Dr Who fan, aren’t you … ?

And frankly?

I’m one that’s getting impatient.

The series eleven opening episode is just under a month away: I’m looking forward to it …

And tapping my feet.

What CAN I tell you?

*        Sounds like some of the trains could do with a boost, Olga: although I hope the refunds are easy to navigate.   The UK’s Delay Repay system is notoriously bad.   And I know what you mean about frequency.   I used Syon Lane, one, when I was travelling to Hounslow: picking up a hard drive for an old Mac^.   I swear, the only thing it needed was tumbleweeds.

†        I keep think I should maybe switch, Debbi.   Mind you … I’ve been one Blogger for a while.   To the point Nik Nak’s Old Peculiar has its tenth birthday at the end of the month.   Transferring that lot would be a bit of a … you know … bother.
