Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 26-11-2022: Here’s Looking At You, Kid.

26th November, 2022: Casablanca.

Right … it’s now Saturday.

And?   Frankly?

I’m going to town, today.

There’s always something we forget to buy, isn’t there … ?

~≈¥≈~

Which reminds me … I’ve got another weight management meeting: in December.

Thankfully?

The young woman who’s organising it has managed to suggest an own-brand sweetener from one specific store.

I usually buy great big bags of sugar from Sainsbury’s: given the amount I use, that lasts three to six months, and roughly 60p to £1.25 a month.

It’s not the best solution: especially for a diabetic trying to lose weight.

So?   The suggested sweetener — whilst it’s not in the industrial sizes I’d prefer — does look affordable: compared to the others that shop sells.

We’ll have to see if I can find a jar of it in the High Street.

It looks cheap enough to experiment, if nothing else.

Here’s a quote from the movie … 

“I’m making out the report now.   We haven’t quite decided whether he committed suicide or died trying to escape.”

Captain Louis Renault, a supporting character in Casablanca.

(It’s possibly my favourite line in the film …)

There’s only one song I could play …

Here’s my review.


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!

†        It’s useful, Olga: although it doesn’t warm up very fast.   (We’ve had sunshine, the past couple of days: but we’re due some rain …)

‡        With Bond … !?   I’ve got to admit, Debbi, Q’s my favourite character.   I always had this thing about wizards.   (Ben Wishaw as Q, Colin Morgan’s take on Merlin, Tom Baker as the Fourth Doctor, Alec Guinness as Ben Kenobi, Ian McKellen as Gandalf, and an AI generated picture of the Finn.   It’s always the way, isn’t it, Debbi?   Before they go on an adventure, the hero usually has to get something from a wizard …)
