Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 21-2-2023 — The Communist Manifesto.

21st February, 2023: The Communist Manifesto.

YAY!

It’s officially official!

I had me nephew, Jude, over, yesterday.

And?   We got the video we’d been working, last week, finished.

Feel free to hit Like and Share, please!

Jude ALSO fancies doing a live stream: something I’ve never done, so I’m going to have to read up on.

Hey HO!

~≈¥≈~

At ANY rate?

That wasn’t the only video posted, yesterday.

Nope: I managed to catch ‘All In,’ the third episode of For All Mankind’s third series.

You know … I think footnotes can be handy … …

Let’s move on, shall we?

Yesterday’s Teaser saw Olga*, Mum† and Debbi‡ putting in their answers: with everyone scoring five out of five.

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.

*        Fun, and chicken strips, were duly had, Olga: we even managed to finish the video.   Quite how we do the live stream he fancies doing, I don’t know!

        It’s a nice place, to be honest, up in what was the attic.   It’s a lot of interesting shapes, as well.   About the only possible downsides are that the intercom seems to not be working, it’s up two flights of stairs, and there’s another (small) flight of steps from the main part of the flat to Ruth’s bedroom.   My knees haven’t stopped complaining!

†        Hello, Mum.   (Can you ask Ruth if the bulk worked, please?   And if she get the stick?)

‡        Funny iold thing, Debbi: I can remember seeing an interview with Cleese, where he confessed he was getting too old to do the sketch.   Arthritis doesn’t help!   (At the One Down, Five to Go concerts they played, a few years ago?   They had to get dancers in for that!)
