Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 21st November, 2018

21st November, 2018.

Right …

Right at the moment, I’ve managed to get up, half an hour earlier.

That way … ?

I can get the usual stuff done that I need to do.

Then head off for the interview I’m due to have in Harold Wood.

Or, at least, the nearby Harold Hill area.

Personally … ?

Getting there is no issue.

Finding the place … could be awkward … 

I’m hoping Google Maps can help!

At any rate … ?

This is not a day to be procrastinating, fannying about or playing silly buggers.

So, of course … 

Today’s the day Blogspot decides it’s going to give me gyp, uploading the photo and video … 

Wouldn’t you bloody well know it … ?

“Everything else you grow out of, but you never recover from childhood.”

Beryl Bainbridge, 21 November 1932 – 2 July 2010.

And a album by birthday boy, Dr John: it’s one of my favourites, I should add‡.

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

Have a good day.

*        Fingers, legs, eyes, toes, major intestines, wires, cheques, es text … !   I’m crossing the lot, Olga!   Hopefully, I won’t fall over … (I’m thinking of a scene in Terry Pratchett’s Pyramids.   The main character’s a recently graduated assassin.   On his first job, he’s using a mirror to help put the complete kit on … and then topples over …)

†        Yeah … that sounds like a clue, Debbi … you notice I’m saying nothing … !?

‡        I think I owe Debbi Cartwright of Earthquest Photography a big thank you, there: she’s the one who gave me my first copy of Gris Gris.
