Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 24th July, 2022

24th July, 2022.

Right … I’ve officially gone shopping!

Which means I’ve got frozen food for a month.

And the frozen meat I’d need for a few stews.

So that’s something.

But … ?

It wasn’t until I got home I realised one teeny tiny thing.

I’d forgotten washing up liquid.

There’s always something, isn’t there … ?

~≈🍽≈~

I have to admit, I spent a lot of last night writing my review of the most recent episode of Star Trek Picard.

I’m mildly pleased: I didn’t eat a bar of chocolate during it.   It’s something of a habit I need to break.

And?

I’m also pleased to see Brent Spiner as best another member of the Soong family.   His fourth,  if memory serves.

It’s good to see him.

But I’m very reminded of the Balowski family!

*        Yes: keeping an eye peeled, sounds sensible, Olga.   It’s a similar (ish) situation, here.   We’ve a patch of parkland at the end of my street: I’m hoping the hot weather doesn’t spark anything.   The amount of parked cars down here would mean getting fire engines down.

        That much for their mobile?   Hmmm … maybe I should rethink that, next time: I’m on O2, myself.

        You’re: gymkhana’s possibly the word.   Although I don’t think there’s aa pony that could deal with my weight … !   😂

†        Hello, Mum!

‡        Hang on, Debbi: he’s a BOW ee!   (Oscar was right: they really ARE separated … )
