Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 28-7-2022 — Peru

28th July, 2022.

Arghrghrgh!

I’m up early: as I have another of the monthly meetings for my weight management programme.

Which are usually enjoyable: and very sociable.

Except, of course, I managed to stay up, late last night: finishing my most recent written and video* reviews of another episode of Stranger Things.

One of these days?

I swear, I’ll learn!

~≈Â≈~

Let’s move on, shall we?

Yesterday’s Teaser saw Olga†, Mum‡ and Debbi^ putting in their answers: with everyone scoring five out of five.

Thank you for coming: have a good day.

*        Am I the only person who thinks David Harbour looks like a chunky version of Wilko Johnson … ?

†        That, and a detective, Olga: half the bands have long since split up, or changed names, split, reformed  … what have you!   (I still remember Doghouse. The front man, Kevin, was one hell of a slide guitarist: their version of Death Letter, the old Son House tune, was quite something!   It was Thames Delta blues!)

        There’s supposed to be another forty pounds coming: a top up for the £150 energy rebate, a couple of months ago.   We’ll have to see how that goes!

        I got the mushrooms … and I’m going to have to get more spaghetti: I only had enough for one!   There’s always something, isn’t there?

‡        Hello, Mum!

^        I’ve seen the name go past, Debbi.   I think it’s on iPlayer, as well: is Matt Berry’s in it?   I’m sure I’ve seen his name mentioned … 

        Oh, enjoy the episode.   It’s only when I watched it recently, that something hit me.   That Robert Holmes was showing us what an abusive relationship looked like.   The man was a genius!

ª        I’ve no idea, Trevor: I DO know he’s been uploading more videos.
