Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 23rd July, 2021.

23rd July, 2021.

It’s officially official: I’ve more meetings, today.

Well, I say meetings: one’s the training course I’ve been on, the othe, a phone meeting with my new — and Basildon based — Work Coach.

My Job Centre case worker, in other words.

That, and the fact it’s payday … ?

Means I’m due to be running about a lot.

Running about: with earworms.   I woke up to The Quartermasters Stores, which shifted to If I Were a Rich Man … 

And then transformed into the background music to Tetris.

Oy … vey … 

~≈Ê≈~

JUST as a final thought thought … ?

You’ve possibly realised I’m something of a Dune fan.

The novel’s been on my bookshelves for much of my life.

So the upcoming film … ?   Is definitely of interest.

The main trailer?   Got released in the UK, yesterday.

OK: I don’t know it makes the film look as texturally authentic as I’d like.

But it does make it look good.

*        Hello, Mum … 

†        Tactfully, Trevor, I’m saying nothing!   (Leather making AND sexual temptation.   The less said the better.)

‡        Oh, bless you for telling me that, Edith: and thank you, that’s made my morning!   :D   I think that’s a cue for a song.   (Blimey, I forgot Robin Williams was in the video.   Wasn’t his death a loss?)

^        You’re right, Debbi, he was!   It’s very easy to forget!   And it’s a pleasure!   (Oh, did you catch the Dune trailer?   I don’t know if it’d be up your street, but it looks good.)
