Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 2-11-2022 — South Dakota.

2nd November, 2022.

Yes: as the workmen putting up scaffold over the road gently clang about?

I know for a fact I know where my trousers are.

Despite all the noise.

The reason for the (mild) trouser concern?

I’ve got another meeting at Restart: over in Chelmsford.

Well, I say meeting … it’s actually a job fair.

I get to met a lot of potential employers in one place.

It’s a handy thing to do.   And wearing trouser will possibly be appreciated …

Oh, JUST in case you interested?

I caught a horror film on Monday night: on Halloween, in other words.

You can read my written review of The Conjuring: The Devil Made Me Do It, here.

Or you can just watch the video:

Thank you for coming: have a good day.

*        Hello, Mum!

†        You make sure she relaxes, Olga!!!!   These things are always a worry, though, aren’t they?

        I know exactly what you mean.   Saying that … ?   It does seem to be working a touch faster.   Saying that?   I’ve plonked my music library on to my external drives.   That DOES seem to have helped.   Some of the system voices seem entertaining.

        I know what you mean about WordPress: YouTube’s doing something similar.

‡        It sounds like Bill was working at a BIG campus, Debbi!

        I couldn’t tell you if it’s one or the other, Debbi.   But isn’t it Courts Martial, rather than Court Martials?

        Sorry it’s a monster set, Debbi: the next one’s on the 16th …

^        Oh, cheers, Trevor!   (Oh, I didn’t know if you’re buying the blu-ray box sets … but series two, with Willian Russell’s last regular appearances as the character, is due for release, soon.   And some of the reanimated episodes are rather good: I’ll be watching The Abominable Snowmen, soon.)
