Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 2nd January, 2021.

2nd January, 2021.

Right … the year’s got started.

And, frankly?

I’m feeling mildly rushed: as I’m expecting a visit from the ONS Covid 19 Tester, today, at 10:30.

Hopefully, that will go well.

I’ve ALSO got to admit, I’ve seen Resolution of the Daleks: and come away impressed.

I’ll finish writing my review, this evening: it’s taking a little longer than I was expecting.

Hopefully, I’ll end up with a good one.

*        I love it in mashed potato, Olga: and I’ve got some spare, if you need it!   Actually, Sainsbury’s does black garlic: I’ll have to see what I can do with some of that … once the price comes down!

Wish your pupils good luck for me, please!   (Buena suerte?   Is that right?)

†        I’m going no-where near the Telegraph, Trevor.   And did you know Stanley Johnson, Boris’ father, is applying for French citizenship?

‡        Hello, Mum!

^        Fair enough, Debbi!   It’s taking longer than I expected, to be honest: it’ll hopefully go live, tonight!   Lord knows how long the video will be!

ª        Glad I got that right, Edith!   Oh, did I mention I was at my family’s, yesterday?   My nephew and me were having fun, trying to find silly songs on Alexa.   I think I lost: Jude wasn’t stunned with New Potatoes!
