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

2nd September, 2021.

Yes: I’m right, aren’t I … ?

Stuff is possibly going to happen.

Possibly … 

I’m quite possibly going to go for a nice healthy walk … and do some nice healthy exercises.

The latter?   Are doing my knee some good, I think.

But frankly?

I’m not EXACTLY finding them a bundle of laughs!

~≈Ê≈~

Did I mention my chicken stew … ?

I make chicken stew, every so often.

I’ve a couple of pots* left: which I’ll alternate with other meals, over the next few days.

I’m thinking, though, that next batch … ?

Won’t have parsnips in it.

I’m getting a bit cheesed off with parsnips.

~≈🥘≈~

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

Feel free to share today’s video Teaser.

Have a good day.

*        I’ve been buying 600g pots of Marmite, over the past few months.   Washed out, the empty plastic pots make handy containers for chicken stew, goulash, spaghetti sauce, beef stew, chilli con carne, dice, loose change, more dice, rat poison assorted bit, and dice.   The rat poison’s not in the same pot as the others, I should add.   That would be silly!

†        Brown uniforms?   Brown ones, Trevor?   APART from the upsides for colour blind people, it sounds a little drab!

        Now I think of it, one of my favourite games was a thing called Magic: The Gathering.   One of the artists was red/green colourblind, and interesting to see.

‡        Hello, Mum!

^        I’m always cynical about governments cutting sales taxes, Olga.   I don’t think companies put prices down as a result.   From the little I can see, they keep the prices the same, and earn more profits.

        I’ll keep my eyes open for the pair: iPlayer’s started showing movies … 

        Can I make a confession?   I get an earworm whenever someone mentions rain in Spain.

ª        You know, I’m going to have look them up, Debbi!   It would make a change from the horror movies!

º        Welcome aboard, Carly, thanks for commenting!   Feel free to poke around the TV reviews.
