Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 28th June, 2023.

28th June, 2023.

Yes: it’s officially official.

I have a new toy: as my most recent unboxing video will show you.

I’ve now got an extremely cheap ring light.

We’ll have to see how that goes: although I suspect having a tripod mounted one — rather than a clip on one — may have helped!

Heigh ho!

~≈📸≈~

At ANY rate … ?

Yes: my nephew, Jude, was over yesterday: both he and I managed to post videos.

I hope you enjoy them!

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.



Let’s see how everyone does with today’s questions, shall we?

And a song by Chayanne …

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

Decisions about scores are final.

Thank you for coming: have a good day.

*        I’ll try and keep an eye open for that, Olga: if that’s ok with you?   Like you say, I mostly do movies and TV shows.   We’ll see!   (Oh … Jack Black and Lizzo are in the next episode of The Mandalorian.   I’m not that familiar with Lizzo’s work: but, apparently, she went down well at Glastonbury, this year!   Oh, and she’s a classical flautist, as well.)

        I’ll be honest: between them, Dr Who and Star Trek have been world leaders: they were the first book of the TV shows I can remember seeing!

†        Hello, Mum!

‡        That it is, Debbi: that’s the original edition, the one I got.   I managed to get one with the same cover, a few years ago!

        Those image are quite something.   Night Cafe does prints of the image for the home market: but I’m not too sure what the rights issues are like, if you need to use images like that, commercially.   (I read a book called The Hoboken Chicken Emergency, many years ago, and fed those words into the thing.   The results were interesting …)
