Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 2nd November, 2023.

2nd November, 2023.

Right … I now have new spectacles.

Or, at least, new computer spectacles: ones I use working at my computer.

Not that you’d notice.

They’re pretty much the same frames as the last ones.

I have an excuse: I was on a budget!

~≈ƒ≈~

Oh … JUST in case … ?

I managed to upload at least two videos, yesterday.

And wanted your opinion of this one: 

Does that make ANY sense … ?

~≈ƒ≈~

As a last thought, before we move on … ?

I’ve got Soft Cell’s version of “Say Hello, Wave Goodbye” on in the background.

It’s possibly the band’s best song!

~≈ƒ≈~

Let’s move on, shall we?


Yesterday’s Teaser saw Mum*, Olga† and Debbi‡ putting in their answers: with everyone scoring five out of five.

The day saw Trevor¶ leaving us a message.

“Genius is too erratic.   It’s better just to be talented.”

Burt Lancaster, November 2, 1913 – October 20, 1994.

And a song …

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’s certainly an idea, Olga: although I’ve no evidence or studies to back it up!   Saying that … ?   A potential heart attack is another good reason to slow down on salt!

‡        It’s very fitting, Debbi.   Oh, The Tales of The TARDIS?   Are omnibus versions of some of the classics: but with new intros and outros.

§        I’m quietly saying nothing, Trevor … !
