Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 15th May, 2022.

15th May, 2022.

Yes, it is, isn’t it?

It’s nice for Ukraine that they won Eurovision, last night: with the rousing Stephania.

Good for them.

The UK … ?   Actually came second.

No that I’ve actually heard the song: I turned it off after a few seconds

At any rate, well done to both of them.

And to the Spanish entry: apparently, they’ve caused the sort of scandal you only get at Eurovision.

~≈Á≈~

At any rate … ?

I wasn’t actually watching the contest.

Partly because Ukraine’s win seemed to be a foregone conclusion.

But partly?   Because I was making another video review.

Here’s what I thought of All In … 

~≈Á≈~

“Some of my youthful readers are developing wonderful imaginations.   This pleases me.”

L. Frank Baum, May 15, 1856 – May 6, 1919.

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.

*        Oh, I know, Olga.   From what I’ve understood, that’s why they have to do the eye check, and foot check: the mix of nerve and circulation damage.

        Oooh … then that’s the other reason to exercise?   Now I know!   Cheers!   Walking to the chemist, over the past couple of days helped twice.   (There’s an old line from Terry Pratchett, as well: about how our walk is our second face.)

        I think that’s partly the idea behind the brand names: to make things easier to pronounce.   Although I’m very aware there‘s a lot of patent law involved there.   (The injections are semaglutide: which has the name Ozempic.   I’m finding both easy.)

†        Hello, Mum!

‡        In the bottom of your foot, Debbi?   I’d imagine you need to be bendy.   But at least it’s good for your soul.   Your soul … ?   Soul … ?   I’ll just go sit on the naughty step, shall I … ?
