Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 25th April, 2019.

25th April, 2019.


Right … I’ve got my regular fortnightly meeting with the Job centre, tomorrow.

At 10:30.   So I’ll be up and about early.

I know I’ve hand to pencil in at least one thing with my adviser.

I’ve had a couple of temp agencies sounding me out about three month temp contracts: doing the sort of work I was doing at my last job.

I’ve turned them down.

Partly because they wouldn’t necessarily cover my costs.

And partly because neither agency could guarantee they postings would last beyond those three months.

I’m going to have to ask my adviser if that’s OK …

Let’s move on, shall we?

Yesterday’s Teaser saw Badwolf* and Debbi† putting in their answers: with both scoring five out of five.

Let’s see how everyone does with today’s questions, shall we?

Here they are, along with the How To, License and video …

“Slowly, silently, now the moon
Walks the night in her silver shoon.”
From Silver, by Walter de la Mare, 25 April 1873 – 22 June 1956.
And a song …


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

  2. You know what you should do? Compile your teasers into little ebooks. You could probably organize them based on theme. Just a thought. Might bring in a bit of dosh. (It is dosh, right?) :)

    1. the Russian Orthodox Church
    2. solar cell
    3. Portugal
    4. Nicaragua
    5. Adolph Hitler

I love it when someone comments. But, having had anonymous comments I feel may be libellous, actionable or just plain offensive, over the years?

I’d appreciate you* leaving your name — with a link to your website or social-media profile†, for preference — before you post a comment.

Should you choose to use a pseudonym/name, I’d appreciate it if that name were to be polite and inoffensive. I’d rather you kept it clean, and relatively grown up. Comments left with a pseudonym will be posted at my discretion: I really prefer a link.

Contentious, actionable or abusive posts left anonymously will not be posted. Nor will comments using offensive pseudonyms or language, or that are abusive of other commenters.

Thank you.

*   I know many value their online privacy. I respect that. But hope you respect my wish to see who’s commenting on my blog: and my wish for you to introduce your self to me, and to your fellow commentors.
