Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 30th April, 2019.

30th April, 2019.

Right … 

Bar picking up some medications?

I’ve got a quiet day, ahead!

And a frustration or two.

Right now?

The interviews offers seem to have dried up, at the moment.

That’s frustrating … 

And gives me the suspicion I’m going to be off work for a while … 

~≈§≈~

“What actor do you really take seriously who becomes a singer? It’s kind of ridiculous. I can’t think of anybody.”

Kirsten Dunst, born 30th April, 1982.

And two songs.

One: because it’s Bobby Vee’s birthday …

And the other to show you that you CAN take Kirsten Dunst seriously … !

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

Have a good day.

*        Morning, Badwolf!   You did well, on Friday: I didn’t know if you’d seen your score.

†        Glad to have you back, Olga: and glad to here you weren’t THAT ill!   You missed a Freudian teaser, by the way!   Yeah, we managed to track down the details we needed: through the control panels.   But, my LORD, what a palaver!

‡        I’ll keep an eye, peeled, Debbi: always handy to have a good tune!   Oh, wait, hang on … JUST had a look: EMI is down … !   I THINK there’s possibly a licensing issue!
