Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 10th June, 2020.

10th June, 2020.

Yes: I admit to being baffled.

I have no idea why I get earworms: songs playing through my head.

Nor why a given is banging around in my skull.

But I’ve had one going through my brain, this morning.

The Fishermen Friends Blow the Man Down.

I’ve just realised what that line said … !

Nope!

I’m not translating it!

~≈⇪≈~

Just as a thought … ?

I posted a few bits — at the end of May — about digital poverty.   To the point I’m planning a piece on it.

It’s a complicated subject … so I’m taking my time.

I hope, though, to have the initial post up, within the week.

I’d love to get your feedback.

Let’s move on, shall we?

Yesterday’s Teaser saw Olga* and Debbi† putting in their answers: with both 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 …

Q1) 10th June, 1886, saw the eruption of Mount Tarawera.   The volcano is in which country?

Q2) Jaycee Lee Dugard was kidnapped on 10th June, 1991.   She was eventually freed in which year?

Q3) 10th June is the feast day of Saint John of Tobolsk.  Tobolsk is in which country?

Q4) 10th June is World Art what Day?

Q5) Finally … ?   10th June, 1961, saw the birth of singer, Max Alfred Elliot: better known how?

Here’s yesterday’s questions and answers …

Q1) 9th June is La Rioja Day.   La Rioja is in which European country?
A1) Spain.

Q2) What’s La Rioja’s capital?
A2) Logroña.

Q3) Rioja Alta, Rioja Oriental and Rioja Alavesa grow grapes.   Grapes used to make what?
A3) Riojan Wine.   (From the little I recall of my days working in an off license?   Tempranillo’s the usual grape used for red Rioja.)

Q4) Gonzalo de Berceo was a famous Riojan what: actor, poet or sculptor?
A4) Poet.

Q5) Finally … ?   La Rioja was part of the Muslim domains in Spain: called Al … what?
A5) Al-Andalus.   (If I’ve understood the history, correctly?   Modern Andalusia, in Southern Spain, was the last part of the country to be re-conquered from the Caliphate.)

Here’s a thought …

“A hotel mini bar allows you to see what a can of Pepsi will cost in twenty years.”
Rich Hall, born June 10, 1954.

And a song …

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

Have a good day.

*        Yes, Zumba it isn’t, Olga: I don’t think Zumba classes have the room for accordion players!
Yep: I found the post, thanking you!   I’ll have to bookmark them!
As for Reynauds … ?   Your Dad’s experiences sound familiar: my feet suffer in winter, even with thick socks!   What CAN I tell you?
The funny old thing … ?   Is the kitchen is exactly where I was going to ask about having the thermostat.   Yes, you’re, it wouldn’t be the best place, heat wise … but putting it there means there’d be no walls blocking the signal!   I’m allowed to ask the engineer about it, but the move’s at his discretion.   (That map is the best I could do with GIMP‡ …)

†        I’ll have to go and look that up, Debbi: it’s got a good reputation … and Robin Williams … !!!!!!   Dear lord, that man’s death was a loss.
Did you ever see One Hour Photo … ?   Ye gods … !   I think part of what made Williams’ role so unnerving was simple the fact we see a very creepy character being played by the world’s funniest man …
