Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 13th March, 2022.

13th March, 2022.

Yes: it’s Sunday.

And, frankly?

I’m expecting it to be quiet.

Apart from dinner with my family, tonight.

Anything involving my nephew’s going to be a little noisy!

Oh, before I forget … ?   And my entire world collapses around my feet?

At any rate?

L. Ron Hubbard, March 13, 1911 – January 24, 1986.

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 know, Olga: that part of the world’s introduced some interesting spices, hasn’t.   One of my exes lodged with an Anglo-Bengali family: and we got invited to one of their barbecues.   I don’t think I’ve had a steak like it!

        The weight’s frustrating.   It’s not helped by the chocolate cravings I get.   I’m assuming that’s where the medication’s lowering my blood sugars … but those cravings are quite powerful.   On a par with craving a cigarette.

        I’ll let you know about the links: if I find them.   The BBC didn’t published yesterday: neither has anyone else, from what I could see.   I’m assuming that’s to avoid any repercussions.

        Give my regards to your neighbours, please, Olga: this isn’t any easy time for anyone!

†        That it is, Debbi!   At ANY rate … ?   My review’s up.   Galaxy Four is definitely worth watching!   (Look out for a package!)

‡        Hello, Mum!
