Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 21-7-2022 — Guam.

21st July, 2022.

It’s now officially Thursday: and … ?

Warm: with a predicted high of 24° in Brentwood.

Thankfully?

That’s considerably cooler than last Tuesday!

By some fourteen to fifteen degrees!

I’ll be honest: that’ll make going to the Job Centre — for my projected meeting with my work coach — a lot more comfortable.

~≈§≈~

Actually?

It might just make two trips into town more comfortable.

I have to go to the Library to print off a letter: to the tribunal that’s adjudicating my claim for extra help.

Then I need to buy a stamp and post the thing.

If nothing else?   It means I get some exercise.

~≈§≈~

Just as a final thought?   I finished my review of the most recent episode of Stranger Things, last night!

The show’s looking good.

It’s a good excuse to play Running Up That Hill.

Just not Kate Bush’s version: her’s is getting over used … 

~≈§≈~

From the Wikipedia entry on Guam.

And a song …

*        Hello, Mum!

†        Oh, Rutger Hauer!   Got you, Olga!   I’ll learn to follow a conversation, one day!   :D.  At Any rate?   The man will be sorely missed.   (As I recall?   He got hired for the Guinness ads because — dressed in black — he looked like a pint of the stuff.)

        Oh, heat stroke?   I suspect we’ve had a few of those, Monday and Tuesday: although I’ve seen nothing reported.

        I know exactly what you mean about rain!   The BBC’s weather site ha predicted it for tomorrow … since Tuesday!

‡        Whiffy’s the word, Debbi!
