Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 27th September, 2022.

27th September, 2022.

It’s officially Tuesday … !

Which means … ?

Not a lot.

Beyond the fact I have a phone meeting with my Restart case worker, this morning.

Which I’m looking forward to: she usually manages to find something to apply to.

~≈Â≈~

JUST as a thought … ?

I had my nephew over, last night: desperately not wanting to do his homework!

I managed to persuade him that doing it* before we made his latest video, was a good idea.

It would get it out of the way, and get him a bar of chocolate.

Bribery, pizza and making his latest video after getting his homework done?

Seemed to work.

~≈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.

Arthur Penn, (September 27, 1922 – September 28, 2010) speaking of his hit film, Bonnie and Clyde.

And a song …

Today’s questions will be answered in tomorrow’s Teaser.

Decisions about scores are final.

Thank you for coming: have a good day.

*        It was a poster for his computer science class: about Alan Turing.   Well … it could’ve been about any one of a number of famous computer scientists: but Jude chose Alan Turning … because his name was Alan.   (I think Jude’s growing an interest in hackers: so told him Turing was the first hacker, because he invented computers.   Hopefully, Jude may read more about Turing as a result.)

†        Well … I’ve managed to get the bulk of the presents, delivered, Olga.   I’m just pleased Jude didn’t notice they got here when he was over!   One of them would’ve given him a BIG hint about what Mummy are Grandma are getting him!   (Game console prices are ridiculous!)

        I hope Sant’s got something good planned: and won’t need you dressing up as a Caganer.   That could be awkward!

‡        Hello, Mum!

^        You got them spelt right, Debbi!   (I’m going to have have a word with Mum!)

        And, yes, things have.   I think they’re also trying to develop things: whilst being able to keep things canon.   It looks like Spock and T’Pring’s relationship is doing to be a big theme: it looks troubled, so that it ends up in Amok Time.
