Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 1-10-2020: Nigeria

1st October, 2020.

Right … I think we can safely say it’s raining: or, at least, drizzling.

It’s not looking good, in other words.

Frankly?

That means buying milk’s going to be … well … damp!

~≈§≈~

Just as a quick word?

I’m still looking forward to seeing the first part of Dune: due out at some point this year.

The reason I mention it … ?

Is simply that there’s a 4k version of the trailer out.

Dear lord: but those sandworms look impressive.

A Giant Sandworm.

~≈§≈~

As a final thought … ?   I’ve got an earworm!   Drat!

The KLF turn up at the oddest times … 

~≈§≈~

Let’s move on, shall we?

*        Thinking about it, Olga?   You’re right about the Tweet, there!   What can I tell you?   Well … bar the fact I’ve been checking my porch, before I go too bed, since Tuesday.   I suspect it’s going to take a few days before I get out of that habit!   At any rate?   I’ve put a sign up, myself: I suspect I’ll need to remind our landlords to do something similar!   (I’ve JUST messaged them on Twitter.)

Here’s hoping that helps!

†        It’s copyrighted, you say, Trevor?   It’s funny what get’s covered!   (I’m assuming the folks that got The statue got permission!)

‡        Morning, Edith: welcome aboard!   I hope you’d like to stick around.   I’ve sent a Tweet about posting, so you know.   Hitting the Name/URL button should help.

^        I was sorely tempted, Debbi!   And yes, that’s the term.   😂   

At ANY rate … I know the police are — ha! — busy … but they only seem to want to turn up around here, if the press are with them.
