Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 5th April, 2019

5th April, 2019.

Oh, for heaven’s SAKE, Google!

Once again, we have a photo uploading issue, today!

With all due respect to Sergei Brin and Larry Page?

Why can’t I upload a photo to this post!

~≈§≈~

At ANY rate … ?

I’ve got some paperwork to send off.

Seemingly?

There’s a possibility I can claim some extra benefits: because of  the depression I’ve suffered with foe many years.

Filling in the form … took a while.

Especially as I went to Brentwood Library to fill it in.

Just to get away from the distractions of home.

Will I get it?

I honestly couldn’t tell you.

We’ll have to see.

*        Morning, Badwolf!   Yep: it’s a classic!   (I’m not sure about The Godfather Pt 3, though!)

†        Really?   Who does the book say Jolly Jack was, Olga?   There’s been all sorts of suggestions!   At ANY rate?   You’re right, Google does seem to be having issues: it’s taken me three or four tries to get the title card up, today.   My hit count’s going all over the place, since they closed G+!

‡        Sometimes, going back to the original films are best, Debbi!   (Mind you, Gemma Arterton’s in the 2007 film … um … )
