Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 24-12-2022: The Eve of Something.

24th December, 2022: Christmas Eve.

It’s HERE!

It’s Christmas Eve!

And that means Santa’s Coming!

On a less enthusiastic note?

I’m looking forward to getting presents, looking forward to see how my family — Jude in particular — react to what I’ve got them them … 

And eating turkey.

It’s not often I have turkey … 

I get to find out, tomorrow!

~≈🎅🏻≈~

Did I mention I watched a film, last night?

I watched a film, last night.

Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery, so you know.

I’ll have my review up, later: but, as an initial point?

It’s rather good.

~≈🗡️≈~

Let’s move on, shall we?

Mark Twain.

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’ve still got a copy of West Side Story, Olga^: it’s on my To Be Watched list.   I managed to catch Glass Onion, last night: which is definitely worth a watch.   For some of the cameos, if nothing else!   I’d imagine the volume on newer, digital, hearing aids can be a bit much.   Is there a way of altering the volume for her?   That may help.

        From what I know?   Netflix has something similar, here: depending on what you pay, you can use the service on a number of different devices.   Quite how it’s supposed to work, I don’t know.   (In extreme cases?   The TV license people send out inspectors.)

        The shopping went well … apart from forgetting bin bags, deodorant, bread, milk, sausages, and lord knows what else!

†        Hello, Mum!   Don’t tell Jude what I’ve bought him!

‡        That sounds VERY sensible, Debbi^: the weather people, here, are saying it’s looking nasty: and throwing the phrase, ‘bomb cyclone,’ around with alarming regularity.   Apparently?   The bad weather’s due to go as far south as Texas: I can only hope you, Rick, Edith and Aileen are ok.   (Mum said ‘Stay safe!’)

        Oh, I caught Glass Onion, last night: Angela Lansbury makes her last film appearance in it.   If you’re going to make a whodunnit, roping in Jessica Fletcher seems a good idea.

        The card was my pleasure, Debbi!

^        Oh, Mum said ‘Happy Christmas!’
