Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 6th January, 2020

6th January, 2020.

Right at the moment … ?

I’m feeling mildly grateful.

As the last bit’s of Christmas — copies of the collected Leopard from Lime Street Stories — were delivered.

At five to seven.

In the evening.

Just in time to avoid spoiling my viewing.

*        How DID the parade, Olga‡?   I had this sudden mental image of you, a bag of boiled sweets, and a catapult, yesterday!   Either way, it sounds one hell of a fun time.   Hmmm … Diables … dancing devils, yes?   It sounds vaguely like the old Austrian Krampus parades.   As for Dr Who … ? I’m glad that delivery turned up when out did!

†        Wild Bill Shakespeare?   Oh dear, Debbi‡ … !   At ANY rate … Have you caught Dr Who, yet?

‡        Bloody hell, someone hit the dislike button on my video review!   Ok, it’s nice to get a reaction, but even so!
