Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 11-5-2023 — I Am The Assassin!

11th May, 2023: I Am The Assassin!

Hmmm … 

Stuff may or may not be occurring!

Seriously!

Occurring is what stuff may be doing.

What stuff?

I don’t know.

What’s worrying me, mildly?

Is simply that I’ve had to set up a new playlist for my 11th May quizzes: as YouTube couldn’t find the original, when I was uploading today’s video.

Quite what happened, there?

I don’t know!

*        Hello, Mum!

†        It look like a good time was had by all, Olga: and I noticed at least one familiar face in there!

        And yes: Diabetes Support groups can be very helpful: I’ve got Diabetes UK permanently bookmarked.   Although a few more recipe ideas could be useful: as a starting point, if nothing else!

‡        Did you manage to get another Mac, in the end, Debbi?   You should be able to import your files from your Time Machine back-up: there’s links on Apple’s site, here, and here.   I wouldn’t know where to start, transferring from Time Machine to a Windows machine!
