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

12th July, 2019.

I have to admit, those tests, yesterday?

Well, I’ll find out the results — or be phoned about them — in about a week or so’s time.

Frankly?   The possible options are terrifying.

We’ll have to cross that bridge, when we get to it.

Outside of those test results?

Life goes on.

Including the job hunting.

Which — over the past couple of days — has included a phone interview for a company, AND a brief online test: for a company that handles card payments.

And today?

Includes an interview with a local bookmakers.

Really local: the things a bus ride away.

If that.

Nervous?

Yes.

Although I’m feeling more nervous about other things.

That might possibly work for me.

Malala Yousafzai, 12th July, 1997.

And a song …

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

Have a good day.

*        Yeah, games CAN be fun, occasionally, Anne!   That trailer’s from the original Sonic the Hedgehog, from back in the Nineties.   I swear I’ll get past that boss level!

†        Have fun up there, Olga: I hope the stay goes well.   At ANY rate?   I’m hoping the results are benign.   But, given I smoked for twenty-seven years?   Well, as I said to Debbi on Twitter, I’m scared.

Got my fingers crossed, too! Try not to worry. :)

‡        Glad to help, Debbi!   Hmmm … Have yo managed to catch Years and Years, or Good Omens? They’re a little big to send, unfortunately, but worth watching.   (There’s the odd Dr Who reference in Good Omens.   David Tennant finally gets to be ginger …)
