Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 27th July 2024.

27th July, 2024.

Right then … it’s Saturday … !

And, frankly … ?

I’m expecting a quiet day!

With — possibly — a movie.

We’ll have to see how that goes.

~≈¥≈~

At any rate … ?

And just so everyone knows?

I’m writing this year’s Left Hander’s Day quiz.

Frankly?   It looks like it’s going to be a short one.

As are a lot of the ones I’ve written for August.

Hopefully?

I’ll be able to get ahead of myself, as a result!

~≈🤲≈~

Here’s a thought …

“I couldn’t pick up a sword and go fight anyone, let me put it that way.   It’s choreography and it’s acting.   The best sword fights you see look amazing, but it’s the acting that sells it more than anything.”

Nikolaj Coster-Waldau, born 27th July, 1970.

A song …

And an earworm …

Today’s questions will be answered in tomorrow’s Teaser.

Decisions about scores are final.

Thank you for coming: have a good day.

*        I will, Olga!   (I got a mild case of the jitters, with it: much as I did with the Ozempic, and unlike the Trulicity.   That’s hopeful, I think)

†        Hello Mum … !

‡        Yeah, they’ve gone through, Debbi.   Google’s changed the interface on both Blogger, and YouTube.   They seem to be overhauling things.
