Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 5th June, 2022.

5th June, 2022.

Yep: today is the official date of the Queen’s Platinum Pageant.

Which is possibly going to be exciting.

If you’re into pageants, obviously.

About the one thing I can say … ?

Is that a quick look out of the window tells me it’s raining.

I hope everyone’s got an umbrella.

~≈Ù≈~

Oh … just so you know … ?

I watched episode eleven of the fourth series of Star Trek Discovery — Rosetta — on Friday.

And posted my written and video reviews, last night.

Feel free to ignore the singing.

*        Hello, Mum!

†        Cheers for those, Olga: I’ll bookmark them for later.   Knowing a little more about SEO is always handy.   At the most, I’d possibly need a OC for the courses I have put in for: but I should be able to get funding for that: and be able to use it for any Google courses.

        Is was a good one, wasn’t it?   Orwell’s always good for a quote or two.

        Feel free to boo him next time you see him!

        Oh, and JUST as a last thought … ?   The Queen’s been hanging around with movie stars, again!

‡        I think booing politicians is a good idea, Debbi.   Just on general principles.   Remind me to tell you about a chap called John Prescott.   Or ‘Thumper,’ as they used to call him.

        Now … did I mention Max Headroom’s thoughts about the US President … ?
