Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 10th April, 2019

10th April, 2019.

Yep: it’s official.

Today, I have a phone interview: with a housing association in Basildon.

The job sounds similar to my last one: so something that I could easily pick up.

About my only concern?

Is the transport cost.

Given the part of Basildon it’s in?

It’s a train trip: one that’s comparative expensive, compared to my job in Chelmsford.

Hopefully?   If I do get it, it would pay enough to cover the costs.

Here’s a thought …

“There are readers who want every point to be clearly and unambiguously set forth, and there are those who want to pry ideas and meanings out for themselves. Most people want some of both, and there’s no mechanical rule on where to set the balance.”
John M. Ford, April 10, 1957 – September 25, 2006.

And a song …

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

Have a good day.

*        Morning, Badwolf!!!!!!!!!

†        Smooth, isn’t the only word, Olga^: it went quite fast, too!   You know, it’s possibly worth having a word with your editing cousin: you never know when it would come in handy!   I honestly couldn’t tell you what the bog standard editing software is on Windows, though!   Bar Windows Photos.   Don’t forget, you’re never too old!

‡        It always surprises me how easy it is, Debbi^!   Although I’m not too sure about some of the results.   If I use the Duotone, AFTER I turn things black and white … you barely notice it!

^        Yes: I meant Dennis!   I thought I’d corrected that!   At any rate, let’s have a song … !
