Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 23rd November 2022.

23rd November, 2022.

Yep: it’s Wednesday.

And pay day: which means I’m going to be paying bills, today.

And possibly shopping.

Depending on how rushed I feel!

Whatever happens?

I’m going to be putting a few quid onto my gas and electricity.

The extra help means I’m, thankfully, spending a little less.

~≈Θ≈~

JUST so you know?

My nephew, Jude, was over, yesterday: the pain of us managed to make another video.

Yes: that IS him in the thumbnail.

On top of that … ?

I’ve managed to finish a matched pair of written and video reviews of The Abominable Snowmen’s third episode.

“If I’m trapped in a theatre, and a show starts disappointingly, I have a handy way of avoiding it: I fall asleep.”

Harpo Marx, November 23, 1888 – September 28, 1964.

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.

*        I will definitely have to keep an eye open, there, Olga!   I keep seeing adverts for them floating past.   You do know con Trier was diagnosed with Parkinson’s Disease, recently?   It’s a tough one to live with: but Michael J. Fox seems to be coping well.

†        Hello, Mum!   (James Bond’s supposed to look like Hoagy Carmichael!)

‡        Really?   I thought you were far younger, Debbi!   Let me know if I’m laying it on too fast!   At ANY rate?   Did you know he won the Oscar for Forrest Gump … the same year Peter Capaldi won Best Live Action Short Film: for Franz Kafka’s It’s A Wonderful Life?   Six Degrees of Separation, and all that … !
