Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 5th May, 2021.

5th May, 2021.

It’s true!

I’m expecting a phone call!

The first of a few, this week!

And, once I’ve had it, I shall hope, skip and jump, all around the room!

Maybe not … !

It is only a phone call, after all.

The (mild) irony of the call?   Is that it’s from a physiotherapist: one helping me with my knee.

One call you’d expect to be in person …

Let’s move on, shall we?

And a playlist …

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

Feel free to share today’s video Teaser.

Have a good day.

*        I know what you mean, Olga.   London’s the same: it’s always getting something dug up.   The plague pit at Liverpool Street still seems recent, but was found in 2015.   And a five thousand year old tip has been found in Shoreditch.   (There’s possibly jokes about Shoreditch still being a tip.)

Hmmm … Didn’t you tell me Jordi was a former military man?   That possibly explains him being very organised: ex-military usually are, I’ve noticed.

†        Given recent events, Trevor?   I think the ref would only have stopped the game if there’d been Man U protestors hanging about.

Did you catch any of the posts I did to Instagram?   The trees were definitely moving …

‡        Hello, Mum!

^        You MIGHT want to check your emails, in that case, Debbi!   Oh … did I mention the 8th Season Box set?   I got the 8th Season box set.   Katy Manning’s first appearance, I should add.   I’ve had a look at the series 10 blu-rays, as well.   Ye GODS, the price of those!

ª        I could be wrong, Edith.   Saying that?   I get the impression Hollywood doesn’t like hiring Jackie Chan.   Because he likes doing all his own stunts, he costs a fortune in insurance payments!   (Apparently. Jackie’s a big fan of Buster Keaton, the old silent movie star.   I get the feeling Buster was another one with big insurance premiums.)
