Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 3-12-2020: Julianne Moore.

3rd December, 2020.

It’s officially the case: that I want to go back to bed!

It’s now what weather presents are calling meteorological winter.

They start banging on like that?

It’s a good bet it’s cold.

I don’t think they’re wrong, this time …

At any rate … ?

According to my diary, I’ve got a dentist checkup, today.

I couldn’t tell you if they’ve cancelled, though.

The phone mast is still down …

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

Feel free to share today’s video Teaser.

Have a good day.

†        Phew!   Glad to hear it, Olga!   I think it’s made a good impression on Debbi.

Either way, I’m glad you enjoyed the book!   And the owls: Ben and the gang have been around for a while.

‡        Hello Mum!

^        Harry Sullivan, Edith?   I’m mildly impressed!   Ian Marter died far too young: he was forty-two.

ª        Glad you enjoyed the video, Debbi: let me know if the Car Insurance one works.   And, just so you know … ?   Whilst is in Merriam-Webster …
