Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 15th August 2026.

15th August, 2026.

It is, quite definitely, Saturday.

And?

The day after Friday.

And … ?

They day after the the government sent out an official alert: warning us not to start fires.

That’s possibly timely.

Even with the constant news of heatwaves, and wildfires, there’s going to be someone who has a barbecue.

~≈🚨≈~

Right … 

You’re aware I watch TV: and review some of the things I see.

I’ve not reviewed Silo, or Sturt Fails to Save the Universe.

But HAVE been reviewing For All Mankind.

And was very impressed by “No Sudden Moves”, the most recent episode I’ve seen.

If you’ve seen the episode?

Can you watch the review, and leave me a comment?

Cheers!
