Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 12th November 2022.

12th November, 2022.

Yes: it’s officially Saturday.

Which means … ?

Frankly, it means I’ve got the blood tests out of the way: I’ve got to phone my GP’s to organise an appointment with the diabetes nurse, but they’re done for this quarter.

I’ve ALSO had a dentists checkup, as well.

Thankfully?

There’s nothing falling out.

And nothing that needs poking.

~≈Á≈~

JUST in case you’re interested?

I caught another episode of Star Trek Strange New Worlds, last night.

As my intro video will tell you … ?

My reviews — written and video — will be up, tonight.

Keep your eyes peeled!

“I just tried to remember the lyrics and not bump into the trumpet player.”

Singer, Jo Stafford, November 12, 1917 – July 16, 2008.

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.

*        Hello, Mum!

†        I got your message, Olga.   I think I’ll book mark The Ghosts of Riots Past, so I can buy it later.   The free Kindle version means you have to download a trial version of the kindle app: that starts charging a monthly fee, after thirty days.   Given the books I’ve already got cued up, I’d miss the deadline, and end up paying for a couple of months!

        Either way?   Bloody Sunday was notorious: prosecutions are still happening … 

        Talking of books … ?   I’m reading Simon Singh’s The Code Book: which — in its opening pages — is rather good.   I suspect I’m going to need a dictionary, by the end!

        And cheers.   I got there early, thankfully, and done early.   Barcelona luck obviously rubs off!

‡        I’m saying nothing about Richard Burton, Debbi: but I’ll try and do another set on him, next year.   :D

        Oh, I’ve bookmarked Fatal Connections, so you know!   I’ll probably only be able to afford it, after Xmas!   (I mentioned it to Olga: I’m currently reading Simon Singh’s The Code Book: it’s rather good!   He did one about De Fermat’s Last Theorem, as well: that’s one hell of a story!)
