Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 28th August 2022.

28th August, 2022.

Yes: it’s officially Sunday.

And?

Frankly, my family’s off out for a posh (ish!) meal at the local Prezzo.

I get a distinct impression pizza’s going to be involved.

~≈†≈~

At ANY rate … ?

I’ve done the last written and video reviews for a couple of weeks.

Ones about Star Trek Picard, at any rate.

You can read the most recent one.

Or you can just watch the video … 

I just HOPE it makes sense!

Let’s move on, shall we?

Yesterday’s Teaser saw Mum* and Debbi† putting in their answers: with both scoring five out of five.

The day also saw Olga‡ leaving us a message.

*        Hello, Mum!

†        Thankfully, Debbi, it’s calmed down, today!   So that’s a result.

        I’d LOVE to, Debbi!   Unfortunately, the shipping costs would kill me!   But … ?   The US branch of Amazon has them: it would possibly work out cheaper … 

‡        It went well enough, Olga: I really need to get started on the next batch of chill!   I just hope your day went well!   At ANY rate … ?   Catch you later, hopefully!
