Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 10th May, 2021

10th May, 2021.



Yes: I’ve got just enough cash to do a little shopping!

And enough time, this evening, to make some goulash.

Or possibly spaghetti.

We’ll have to see.

I’ve got to admit, I feel slightly rushed: I’ve a phone meeting my Shaw Trust case worker, today.

That doesn’t stop raising something with you.

You’ve heard of earworms, yes?   Songs playing themselves around you head?

I’m wondering what the visual equivalent would be.

I’ve been re-reading Moorcock’s A Nomad of the Time Streams.

And, as ever, had a mental image of what Una Persson — one of the main characters — looks like.

A very specific mental image.

I think a lot of people do something similar.

It bothered me enough to that I went looking, yesterday.

And, after about half an hour’s Googling?

Realised my version of the character looked like Gina McKee.

I wish I knew why!

But, as I’ve said?   I think more people did something similar: they have mental images of a fictional character … that’ll turn out to be a very specific person*!
