Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 22-7-2019: Utøya Island

22nd July, 2019.


Hmmm … 

I’ll be honest, I’m … worrying.

Remember, about a week and a half ago, I had a CT scan?

I’m due to get the results, at some point, this week.

They say that no news is good news: and yes, not hearing is nerve-wracking.

But … ?

The sooner they get here, the better.

~≈§≈~

At any rate … ?

I’m thinking that the old saying amongst Alcoholics Anonymous members has a certain amount of appeal: they’d usually advise I should just worry about today.

Saying that … ?

The plan for the day is to head to town: and try to sell a keyboard!


I’ve got this old Mac keyboard: one that went with a vintage, first generation, iMac I had.

Granted, I could keep it: and see if it works as a USB hub with my current model.

Granted, I could just bin the thing.

But, this way … ?

I get to see if it can earn some cash.

Let’s move on, shall we?

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

Lisa Marie Husby, one of the attack’s survivors.
And a video …


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

Have a good day.




*        Morning, Anne.   How was the weekend?

†        He’ll probably have to get Tetris from the App Store, then, Debbi!   Crooks with good PR men probably hasn’t stopped there: the original Robin Hood’s got centuries worth.   And did you ever here about the Kray twins?   There was a pair that did good PR.   (Yes, that is Judy Garland …)
