Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 13-12-2021: Saint Lucia

13th December, 2021.

Looking at that intro … ?

I have to admit: I think everyone with a copy of iMovie is possibly doing that Max Headroom stutter thing!

Ahem!

At any rate: I’ve got a phone meeting, today.

With my (new) caseworker from the Restart scheme.

Thankfully, it’s a phone meeting: I really can’t afford the trip to Chelmsford.

~≈Ç≈~

Saying that … ?

I think job hunting’s going to get interesting.

As the government’s COVID-19 guidelines has been updated: to remind us that we’re supposed to be working from home, where possible.

Does that mean we’re looking at another lockdown … ?

I don’t know.

If we ARE, I’d be happy about it … if the Government re-introduced the £20 uplift!

~≈Ç≈~

Let’s move on, shall we?

Yesterday’s Teaser saw Olga*, Mum†, and Debbi‡ putting in their answers: with Debbi scoring five out of five, and Olga and Mum on four.

Let’s see how everyone does with today’s questions, shall we?

Here they are, along with the How To, License and video …

Here’s a motto … 

“The Land, The People, The Light.”

Saint Lucia’s motto.

And a song …

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

The quizmaster’s decisions about scores are final.

Thank you for coming: have a good day.

*        I hope that renter sticks around, Olga!

        Oh, editing!   Tell me about editing!   Just cataloguing footage is something!

        An owl might find some of the rats around here, a bit much, Olga!   And I don’t know WHERE I’d put it!   It’s similar with a cat.   Much as I’d love one?   I couldn’t afford the vet bills!

        Saying that … ?   I think I’ve mentioned that an old family friend runs a company that does animal experiences — snake handling, iguanas, what have you — and has owls.   I’ll HAVE to ask!

†        Hello, Mum!   Does Ben loan his owls out?

‡        Well, yes, that’s the other term, Debbi!   Oh, by the way: Channel 4’s doing this …
