Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 30th April 2023.

30th April, 2023.

Right … it’s Sunday.

And, beyond editing some videos?

I’m fully expecting the day to be … you know … 

Quiet!

Especially after getting some teatowels — and a blu-ray — delivered.

The blu-ray’s currently being ripped, the unused teatowels are in a drawer … and the new, collapsible, colanders are in place.

Heigh ho!

~≈®≈~

I’m in the UK: which you’d possibly worked out, if you’ve been following me for a while.

And, of course, the news is — if not exactly full of it — then certainly giving a mention to the upcoming Coronation of King Charles 3rd.

I’m thinking watching it could be good: it’s not like they happen every day of the week.

There’s more news, over the past couple of days.

Apparently?   We’re going to be asked to swear allegiance* to the King.

I hope that’s optional.

I’d hate to have it back-fire on me!

*        I’m getting mental images of the Illinois Nazis … !

†        I can only hope the weather evens out, Olga!

        Towels!   Bath towels!   Dratted bath towels!   I knew there was something I forgot!   I’m just glad Sainsbury’s Nectar app has a shopping list feature!

‡        Hello, Mum!

^§        Doesn’t it just, Debbi?   It was all about something that called itself Time Control.   It was something like the Time Agency that gets a mention in Dr Who, or The History Monks in Terry Pratchett’s Discworld novels: a police body that stopped people fiddling with history.   As I recall, the main character was a trawler skipper recruited, just before his ship sank.   On of the villains was Martin Borman, the Nazi who went missing after the war.   He’d infiltrated Time Control!
