Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 10th July, 2022.

10th July, 2022.

Yes: it’s officially Sunday.

And … ?

I get the feeling it’s going to be both quiet: and hot.

After an especially warm day, yesterday.

It’s going to be toasty!

~≈☀️≈~

Oh, just in case you’re interested?

I caught Assimilation — the third episode of Star Trek Picard’s second series — on Friday.

And got my reviews done, last night.

It’s a great little thriller of a series: one with great performances.

Especially from Annie Wersching as a Borg Queen in full on Hannibal Lector mode!

The series is seriously worth a go!

John Calvin, 10 July 1509 – 27 May 1564.

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.

*        Yes: I knew about Boy A, Olga^: and keep meaning to catch it.   I’ve not seen Garfield in much: but do like his version of Spiderman.   He seems to catch the character’s cockiness very well.

        Ooooh … but motorbike accidents can be nasty!   Give your cousin my regards, please: he sounds like he had a lucky escape!

†        Hello, Mum!

‡        I certainly hope Trevor was joking, Debbi!   I’d hate to see the bloody idiot in charge, over here!

        Good luck with those scripts: they sound like they could be interesting!   Did you know the Romans did graffiti?

^        I don’t know if you caught Spider-Man: No Way Home, recently, Olga: but Garfield and Tobey Maguire reprise ‘their’ version of the character: along side Tom Holland’s.   It’s a fun film!
