Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 4th April 2023.

4th April, 2023.

Yes: it’s Tuesday.

And yes: I’m up early.

It’s the Easter Holidays: so I’m looking after my nephew, Jude, for the morning.

There’s going to be videos made, I know that.

Talking of which?

That’s my most recent video review: of the penultimate episode of For All Mankind’s third series.

“All experience shows that insanity seasonably treated is as certainly curable as a cold or a fever.   Recovery is the rule; permanent disease the exception.”

Dorothea Dix, April 4, 1802 – July 17, 1887.

And a Muddy Waters’ playlist …

Today’s questions will be answered in tomorrow’s Teaser.

Decisions about scores are final.

Thank you for coming: have a good day.

*        Hello, Mum!   (It was the Grand National, Mum: it was the year it had a false start.)

†        Oh, lord, yes, Debbi: it’s what Terry Prattchett’s dad used to call an embuggerence!   (Oh, have you heard that Muddy Waters playlist?   If that version of Hoochie Coochie Man doesn’t scare the neighbours, I’ll be very surprised.)
