Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 3rd March 2023.

3rd March, 2023.

Yes: I’ve been toying with the new camera.

Frankly?

The mic’s rather tinny: so I use my iMac’s onboard mic, when recording.

And it’s not got as wide a colour range, either.

I’ll live: it’s got very good resolution.

But if anyone want’s to buy me a clip-on ring-light, so I can eliminate shadow?

They’d be welcome.

Here’s a thought … 

“A St. Trinian’s girl would be sadistic, cunning, dissolute, crooked, sordid, lacking morals of any sort and capable of any excess.   She would also be well-spoken, even well-mannered and polite.   Sardonic, witty and very amusing.   She would be good company.   In short: typically human and, despite everything, endearing.”

Ronald Sealre, (3 March 1920 – 30 December 2011) speaking about his most famous creation.

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.

        If it’s any consolation … ?   The pair have been charged with gross negligence manslaughter.   Police have been unable to determiner the poor thing’s gender … … 

‡        Yeah, I thought it might appeal, Debbi!   I’m going to be re-using it in a few days time!
