Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 11th March 2024.

11th March, 2024.

Right … it’s official Monday: I’m up early, and just finished a bowl of Bran flakes.

And got Ça plane pour Moi on in the background.

There are times it’s the only to get an ear worm out of your head!

~≈🧑‍🎤≈~

At any rate … ?

I’m up early: to go to my weight management group.

Hopefully?

I’ll have lost weight: after two weeks of staying the same.

I’m having to walk, today: in the rain.

What that’ll do, I don’t know!

~≈🏋️‍♂️≈~

Oh, just as a last point?

I managed to catch a movie, last night.

You’ll find out what I saw when I publish it!

~≈🍿≈~

Let’s move on, shall we?

Thank you for coming: have a good day.

*        Hello, Mum!

†        Cheers, Olga: I managed to get that corrected.   Or, at least, got an insert done!   That’s what happens when you write quizzes late at night!

        A RPG day … ?   With fractional dice?   I’m going to have to keep an eye open, there.   I do know I’ve six-sided dice with Roman numerals: they’re a type of three sided dice.

        And, if it’s any help?   I knew at least one woman gamer — called Stella — who was quite heavily involved with the Labyrinthe crowd down at Chislehurst Caves: I don’t know if there’s anything similar in Barcelona, but it’s possibly worth looking.

        Hmmm … would an umbrella hat, help … ?

‡        Yeah: I’m blaming late night quiz writing, there, Debbi.   Everything goes sideways, if I’m up too late!   (Apparently, Spain’s is May 5th, this year!   I’m just glad Mum and Ruth haven’t noticed!)
