Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser— 7th May 2023 Teaser.

7th May, 2023.

Right … 

It’s officially the day after the Coronation.

Feel free to excuse the swearing, and the washing machine: but the Archbishop had to have a couple of goes, putting the thing on!

The crown.

On Charles’ head.

I thought I should clarify that!

At any rate?

I watched the ceremony.

I’m not sure I’d call it enjoyable: I’m not that much of a royalist.

But it was interesting to watch.

And something of a rarity: after all the last one was seventy years ago.

~≈Ü≈~

Oh, JUST in case you’re wondering?

The page boy they cameras focus on, at one point … ?

Was Prince George: eldest child of the Prince and Princess of Wales, and second in line to the throne.

I don’t think I’ve seen anyone more bored … unless it was his younger sister and brother … 

~≈Ü≈~

The one surprise I had about the whole thing, though … ?

Was Michelle O’Neill’s attendance.

In case you didn’t know?

She’s the First Minister Designate of the Northern Irish assembly, and MLA, Member of the Legislative Assembly, for Mid Ulster … 

And a member of Sinn Fein.

The last person I’d’ve expected to go.

They’re not exactly royalists!

Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 7th May, 2019.

7th May, 2019.

Yep: it’s official.

Jude, my eight year old nephew … has decided to he want’s to be a YouTuber.

He knows I’ve got a YouTube channel.

And been watching videos by YouTuber, Jelly.   (Who was allowed on at the age of nine: so Jude assures us.)

OK: I think Mummy’s going to have something to say about that: especially as you can open a YouTube channel at 13, five years from now.

Lord knows Grandma and Aunty Anna had a few choice words!

One thing I know I suggested, last night?

Was, at least, seeing if could make a movie on Mummy’s computer.

May I present … 

Ahem … !

Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 7-4-2017

It’s a Sunday … 

And, for once … ?

It’s a Sunday where I’m not working.

That’s going to give me less money, next payday.

But, for the moment … ?

Means I have extra time to sleep, do laundry … 

And watch Dr Who*, tonight … 

Here’s hoping …

The Company Of Wolves: Sweetest Tongue and Sharpest Tooth

11th April, 2010.

You know, that was strange …

Ish …

A movie night without Movie Night Adrian: who’s helping out an ill friend, tonight, so couldn’t join Kevin D, Dr Kevin and I for the usual Saturday Night movie.

And I’ve got to admit, tonight’s film, for us, was something a little different: the 1984 Neil Jordan directed, Angela Carter authored, film, The Company of Wolves.

Which does make a change.

The film sees youngster, Rosaleen — played by Sarah Patterson — dream that she’s living in the archetypal fairytale forest.

One that her Grandmother — played by Angela Lansbury — warns her not to go to far into …

And tells Rosaleen a tale or two, to prove her point …

Of wolves …

Of the beast in men …

Of wild animal’s, and things and howl in the night* …

You get the picture, don’t you … ?

(You can possibly also tell it’s 1 in the morning …)

~≈§≈~

At any rate, it’s late enough to leave the summary of the plot to others.

Suffice to say that’s it’s a fairly obvious metaphor …

I’m also very aware that myself, Kevin D and Dr Kevin took somewhat different views on The Company of Wolves.

But all agreed that it’s a film that’s worth watching at least once.

~≈§≈~

I’m also aware that I possibly didn’t do the second episode of Season 5 of Dr Who.

Possibly …

I’m actually just re-watching it on the BBC’s iPlayer.

I won’t give away too much of the plot, as I know that Kevin D hasn’t seen it, as yet.

But I’m thinking that this isn’t one of Stephen Moffat’s better scripts, although it does have it’s moments.

I’m also very aware, though, that he has written the bulk of this season’s episodes, and taken on the rôle of Head writer, and the show’s Executive producer.

Which I’m thinking is showing, a little: but then again, this is all new …

For all of us …

* There’s a quote from Terry Pratchett’s Fifth Elephant that did spring to mind, here … : ‘[Igor] Go and tell the children of the night to make vonderful music somevhere else, vill you? I have a headache.’
