Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 11th July, 2023.

11th July, 2023.


Right … It’s Tuesday: the day after Monday.

And the day after my weight management meeting.

Technically?

That was supposed to be the last one.

But I’ve managed to get an extension, there.

That’s all good!

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

Decisions about scores are final.

Thank you for coming: have a good day.




*        You’re right, Olga: from what I know, it’s a symptom.   At the moment, I’m functional: so we’ll have to see how things go.   And I’ve got lucky with the Weight management group: I’ve more time.
        Talking of difficult kids?   Did I mention I’m watching The Mandalorian?   I caught the penultimate episode of this series, last night: Grogu’s causing havoc!


†        Hello, Mum!

        Oh, Tomorrow and Tomorrow  and Tomorrow?   That is one hell of an episode, Debbi!   It’s … well … !

    I hope it helps and things remain stable regarding your cataracts.
    I think Grogu can get away with a few things, but not having watched the series, I may be totally wrong.

I love it when someone comments. But, having had anonymous comments I feel may be libellous, actionable or just plain offensive, over the years?

I’d appreciate you* leaving your name — with a link to your website or social-media profile†, for preference — before you post a comment.

Should you choose to use a pseudonym/name, I’d appreciate it if that name were to be polite and inoffensive. I’d rather you kept it clean, and relatively grown up. Comments left with a pseudonym will be posted at my discretion: I really prefer a link.

Contentious, actionable or abusive posts left anonymously will not be posted. Nor will comments using offensive pseudonyms or language, or that are abusive of other commenters.

Thank you.

*   I know many value their online privacy. I respect that. But hope you respect my wish to see who’s commenting on my blog: and my wish for you to introduce your self to me, and to your fellow commentors.
