Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 16-11-2022 — Oklahoma.

16th November, 2022: Oklahoma.

It’s a news day.

Or possibly, a news day.

For one thing?

My most recent written and video review — of the second episode of The Abominable Snowmen — is up.

As is my nephew’s most recent video.

Jude’s friend Jaskaran … ?

Is ever-so-slightly shy, I should add!

At any rate … ?

Feel free to like them, and share them!

~≈📽️≈~

Secondly?

And I realise it’s something of a punt … 

But, in light of the fuss around Twitter, I’ve joined rival social network, Mastodon.

I’m still intent on using Twitter: I’ve built up a small following, including both regular readers, Olga and Debbi.

But, given the fuss and given I know a couple of people on there?

I felt it worth a go.

So you know?   Mastodon is made up of several federated modules: called servers.

I’m on one called Mastodon World.

So my Mastodon handle is @Cuddy2977 if you’re on that one: and @Cuddy2977@mastodon.world, if you’re on a different server.

That’s how you can go and find me.

I can also invite you.

With this link: https://mastodon.world/invite/tvQ3xEBb

From what I’m told?   The mobile Mastodon apps are very experimental, right now: but the site works well in a desktop browser.

Feel free to join up …

Just as a final thought … ?

Missiles hit Poland, last night.

Quite from where, no-one seems sure.

It’s worrying: as Poland has pointed ou that these were Russian made missiles.

Although no-one’s saying if these were deliberately aimed at Poland from Russia: or were Russian missiles that had been shot down by Ukraine anti aircraft missiles, landing in the neighbouring country by accident.

However?

That’s one hell of a worry.

If it can be shown that it was a deliberate move by Russia?

The could well trigger something nasty …

Let’s move on, shall we?

*        I think we’ve managed something Olga: we’ve had to improvise, covering Jaskaran’s face, though … !   He’s shy!

        And I know what you mean about recording outside … !

†        Hello, Mum!

‡        Very true, Debbi, very true!   (Sorry about the ten question set, Debbi.   In my defence?   I’ve got a five question set about Bedfordshire on the 28th.   The place is a lot less interesting than Oklahoma, and you can’t sing about it … )
