Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 27-6-2024 — Djibouti

27th June, 2024: Djibouti.

Right then … it’s Thursday!

And … ?

I managed to have my most recent meeting with my Job Centre case worker, yesterday morning: by phone, thankfully.

I don’t know if I’ll end up getting the job she suggested I apply for — in Pitsea — but it’s the first I’ve seen in a while.

~≈¥≈~

JUST as a thought … ?

It’s election year in the UK.

The things a week away, so you know.

So?

I thought I’d give you a few thoughts from earlier this years: about spoiling my vote.

I hope I get a few views!

~≈¥≈~

I’m not the only one posting videos!

Yes: Jude’s posted another one, this week.

If you could hit the ‘Like’ button on it — and as many of the Mikey videos you see floating past — you’ll make my nephew very happy!

~≈¥≈~

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!   (‘Javelineer’ gets used in the Wikipedia page, Mum.)

†        You know, I’m really going to have to sit down with Twin Peaks: Firewalk With Me, Olga!   Mind you, I’ve not caught up with the third series, yet!

        I think I’m going to have the same problem, desk wise: but the pedalling machine sounds like a good idea!   We’ll see.

‡        Thankfully, it’s cooling down, today, Debbi.   Still … I’ve just put another bottle of water in the fridge!

§        Miss Twisted’s real name is Charlotte, she’s Australian … and her cosplays are both gorgeous, and look like a lot of work.   The only other people I’ve seen put in that much effort are the people who paint model soldiers, and build train sets.
