Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 2nd January, 2023

2nd January, 2023.

It’s Monday … and it’s a Bank Holiday Monday.

Which means?

It’s going to be quieter than usual.

Quiet enough that I can catch a film.

Hopefully!

If anyone wants to make a suggestion, they’d be welcome to … but those will go at the end of the queue I’ve already got to watch … !

Thank you for coming: have a good day.

*        My nephew does have his charms, Olga: and just being able to talk does make a nice change!   :D

        And it sounds like the parties went well, at your end.   I suspect I’d’ve left early too, given the chance.   That’s the one thing I used to hate about bar work: New year’s eve would be a stupidly late finish: double time, or no!

        Can you pass my best wishes to Oleguer and Mireia, please?   It sounds like every little helps.   I can only hope her condition isn’t too serious!

†        Hello, Mum!

‡        My pleasure, Debbi!   Oh, the next big one’s on the 6th: all about New Mexico.   I’ve not got any more coming for now: but will let you know.

        Oh, I’ve got the Before the Sofa watch-along for The Dalek Invasion of Earth: it’s a fascinating watch!   They’s got Carole Ann Ford, Susan, taking part!
