Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 10th November, 2018

10th November, 2018.

Yep: I’m (semi) serious, there.

I’m off to work, today: and due to start at nine.

And, as you’ve possibly guessed?

I’m up early to get a post done: as well as get ready.

Frankly?

A weekend off would be nice, at some point.

Says the man who’s seasonal work means I’ll be complaining about lack of hours, come summertime!

~≈§≈~

Hmmm … 

I’m just thinking about my next day off: Wednesday, I think.

Frankly, and at the moment?   I’ve a few series in stock in the collection, I’ll be watching Dr Who’s next episode, tomorrow … 

But I’m an impatient little sod.

You’ve possibly guessed.

Right at the moment?

I’m very aware Star Trek Discovery’s next season is out next year: in January.

I’m ALSO aware Stranger Thing’s third season is also due … at some point in 2019.

Frankly?

I’m impatient for both.

But am at least grateful for Dr Who … and a seventieth series of I’m Sorry I Haven’t a Clue: due to start on Radio 4, this Monday.

I’ve got my timer set for those, at least!

~≈§≈~

Let’s move on, shall we?

Yesterday’s Teaser saw Debbi* putting in her answers: with both scoring five out of five.

Here’s a thought …

“Often we’d secretly like to do the very things we discipline ourselves against. Isn’t that true? Well, here in the movies I can be as mean, as wicked as I want to - and all without hurting anybody. Look at that lovely girl I’ve just shot!”

Claude Rains, 10 November 1889 – 30 May 1967.

And a song …

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

Have a good day.

*        *Gulp*.   She might have to start working from home, Debbi!   (Ohh, Dr Who, tomorrow!   Looks like an interesting one, too: I’ll have to do a Teaser about the Partition of India, at some point, the Empire made a pig’s ear of it!)
