Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 5th November, 2023.

5th November, 2023.

Yep: it’s a Sunday.

And?

I’ve got Wet Leg’s “Oh, No” banging around my head!

Why, I don’t know.

Apart from the fact it’s got a catchy guitar riff.

And the band seems to be dressed as wombles!

Oy vey!

*        It went well enough, Olga: I managed to get some stuff done.   And a video recorded for a friend: whether it’ll get used is a whole other thing!

        Have fun at the cookery show: and say ‘hi’ to Jordi for me!

        I have to admit, I don’t know much about Kurosawa: except I think I caught one of his films, Dodes’ka-den, a long time ago.   Oh, and there’s a Japanese film called Akira: but I don’t know if it’s named for him.
