Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 12th February, 2019.

12th February, 2019.

You know, I WISH I’d taken a screen shot of that.

Amazon — or, at least, the third party sellers  I’d ordered a DVD from — were supposed to deliver a DVD to me, last night.

By eight PM.

It hasn’t turned up, yet.

All I get on the site … ?

Is this little announcement … 

I’m … well … not surprised, frankly.

We’re just have to see when the thing turns up.

Or what happens when the seller reads his messages …

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

Have a good day.

*        That’s OK, Badwolf: as it’s you!   (Oh, did you ever read those old Target books?   I’ve a couple on order.)

†        That’s not quite what I meant, Olga.   You’re right: there’s a ‘Link’ button you can use — on Blogger and Wordpress — when you’re writing a new post.   But there’s no link button in the ‘Comment’ box.   That’s when that bit of HTML comes in handy!   Now about those helipads … …
