Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 25-6-2022 — Slovenia

25th June, 2022.

It’s 8-30 on a Saturday morning.

And, as I say in today’s intro video … ?

That means there’s going to be a Saturday night at some point.

Mine?

Is going to be spent writing about the first episode of Star Trek Picard, series two.

It’s looking good.

Slovenian proverb.

And a song …

Perpetuum Jazzile are possibly Slovenia’s best known group.

The quizmaster’s decisions about scores are final.

Thank you for coming: have a good day.

*        Hello, Mum!

†        Coca San Joan … ?   NOW I’m interested, Olga!   You can never have too much cake.   And planned for fireworks are always good.   (We get a lot in November.   Bonfire night’s on the 5th, obviously: and many families in Brentwood will be marking Diwali around the same time.)

        I’ll be honest, Olga: now my drain’s sorted, I’m not worried.   But many one who needs my landlord’s help at the moment will have issues.   I’m just wondering what’s happened to my landlord’s website.

‡        Oh, that he does, Debbi!   He cropped up in an old series called The Brothers, back in the day: as a predecessor of JR Ewing.   (Did I mention Picard?   It looks rather good!)
