Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 13th May, 2021.

13th May, 2021.

Yes!

I’m officially undecided … 

Do I nip up to the High Street, to get some shopping?   Ot into Romford, to cash in a box set?

Either way?   I’m going to get wet.

It’s raining.

If you recall … ?

I’ve mentioned the Voter ID requirements introduced in the recent Queens Speech: and that there was a petition doing the rounds.

Something that’s now got over sixty-four thousand signatures.

If you’re in the UK, and looking to sign that petition, I’ve embedded it into the sidebar of the desktop version of Nik Nak’s Old Peculiar.

Feel free to sign it.

Daphne du Maurier, 13 May 1907 – 19 April 1989.

And a song …

*        You’re right, Olga: it does!   Those hidden charges are a problem!

Funny all thing, you always look very graceful in your videos.   Mind you, you, me and Debbi are all sitting down when we film them!

(Oh, the exercises went well: I’m sure I’m doing one wrong, though!)

†        Hello, Mum!

‡        They’ve closed Hanging Hill Lane?   What on earth’s happening, Trevor?

^        The Pulps seem to have had an effect, Debbi!

ª        Blimey!   I never knew was was in one of Lowe’s videos, Edith!   I learn something new, every day! I did know he and Ian Dury were both on Stiff Records, though.

(Oh, sorry about yesterday’s score, Edith: questions’ were harder than I thought they’d be!)
