Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 27th November 2022.

27th November, 2022.

Yes: it’s Sunday, again.

And … ?

One that’s seen me have not much sleep.

On the upside?

I think my written and video reviews of A Quality of Mercy — the last episode of Star Trek Discovery’s first series — are rather good.

If you wouldn’t mind heading to YouTube and liking that video … ?

It would be appreciated!

*        Hello, Mum … !

†        Very true, Olga, very true!

        At any rate … ?   I had no luck, when I went into Tesco’s, yesterday.   Apparently, the branch is too small to stock, everything.   I suspect the same is true of the other branch in town.   And I suspect buying online will involve a delivery charge: which would wipe out what ever money I save!

‡        Oh, that’s what they call it, Debbi … ?   I wonder what Joseph Campbell would make of that … ?   Which reminds me, I (possibly) need to get his The Hero with a Thousand Faces: it’s supposed to be very influential.

        And you’re right: it didn’t … !   (Cheers for commenting on the review!)
