Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 18th September, 2019.

19th September, 2019.

Yep: I’m back at work, today.

And … vaguely looking forward to it.

If, for no other reason, than it gets me out of the house.

And, theoretically?   Fitter.

It’s all that walking!

~≈†≈~

Either way?

It means that I’ll not be watching TV, tonight.

Which is a mixed bag.

After all, I’ve now finished watching Chernobyl.

That’s a series I can’t help but recommend to you.

It’s … 

Well … 

Go watch the thing: the way the thing’s been shot is something else.

~≈†≈~

Let’s move on, shall we?

Yesterday’s Teaser saw Olga*, Badwolf†, and Debbi‡ putting in their answers: with all three 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 …

“I never said, ‘I want to be alone.’ I only said, ‘I want to be let alone!’ There is all the difference.”

Greta Garbo, 18 September 1905 – 15 April 1990.

And a song …

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

Have a good day.

*        Always the way, Olga: the money issue’s a big one.   The government’s just announced that foreign students can stay longer.   That may help attract fees, and funding.   But what do I know?   I do know the various semaphores and telegraphs could build up one HELL of a speed: not quite on a par with some systems, today, but extremely good.   I think one set up could get messages from London to Portsmouth in under eight minutes!   That’s better than my phone, some days!   (Remind me to visit Boston, sometimes … !)

†        Deliveries, hey, Anne?   I know a friend of mine was waiting for his new Apple BT, yesterday.   Not sure if it turned up, though … !   I hope yours get’s through!

‡        Blimey!   There’s another one for my wish list, Debbi!   I’m just settling into Olaf Stapledon’s Odd John, though.   It looks interesting … !   Oh, and I’ve finished Chernobyl.   That is one HELL of a series!   (I’ll HAVE to remember that: hah VARD … !)
