Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 22nd August 2023.

22nd August, 2023.

Yes: it’s officially Tuesday!

Which means I’m feeling vaguely impatient.

Yep: it’s payday, tomorrow.

And, as ever?

Means ‘vaguely’ doesn’t even start!

~≈®≈~

At any rate … ?

I do know my nephew, Jude, was here, yesterday.

He has, as ever … managed to make his own videos.

Although he found lining up the audio with exactly where he wanted it, frustrating: at least in the third video … 

Still, I think he’s done well.

Now … 

If anyone wants to give a 12 year old YouTuber, a Mac mini?

They’d be welcome!

Let’s move on, shall we?

*        Hello, Mum!

†        :D   At ANY rate, Debbi, how are you with some of the Star Wars series?   There’s one out, tomorrow, called Ahsoka.   I get the impression it’s more of a Space Western — like The Mandalorian — than a WW2 drama, like Andor.

‡        Those decorations look amazing, Olga!   The Minecraft ones caught my eye.   As did the Space Invaders, and Pac Man machines!   Are they authentic?   Because they can go for a fortune!   Oh, and the van seems to have come a cropper.   Oh, hang on, it’s from Stranger Things, isn’t it?   It’s Upside Down … !
