Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 27th May, 2021.

27th May, 2021.

First things first, if we can … ?

Can you let me know if the top video in this post, works?

Google owned YouTube have managed to re-introduce playlist embedding: and I’m trying to see if posting a video to the blog is also back up and running.

I’m using the Google owned Blogger service, after all.

Moving on to the video’s contents?

Yes: it was sunny when I took part of it.

And yes: it’s still sunny, now.

Which is nice.

I’m due to have the second of my two COVID-19 jabs, today: at 12:18.

It’d would be nice to see sunshine on the way there …
