Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 11th August 2023

11th August, 2023.


Right … I’ve got my windows open.

It is a bit muggy: not surprising, given it’s overcast, and warm.

But?

Having some fresh air coming in does help.

Even if I can hear the trains going past.

Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 11-8-2020: Enid

11th August, 2020.


Yes: today’s the day when I’ll be doing a lot of filming.

Those Teaser video’s don’t make themselves.

Frankly, though?

I’ll be doing that, after I’ve had a walk around the block.

Which does two things.

Gets me some exercise.

And gets me away from the noise of the washing machine.

As much as I like clean t-shirts?

The noise from my washing machine is … 

Loud …

You’ve possibly worked I’m a Terry Pratchett fan: and have been, since the mid-1980s, when I first came across his work.

I’ve been floating around the ’Net, whilst writing this: and came across this piece from the well known The Wertzone blog.

It seems the BBC America crew producing The Watch series have been making more changes — unwarranted changes — than I thought.

Most fans will be able to about the major Watch characters.

Including the fact that Captain Carrot was adopted by dwarves, and that Cheery is a female dwarf fighting hard to get recognised as a woman.

To quote The Wertzone?
“Cheery had also been changed from a young dwarfish woman anxious to prove her worth in her patriarchal society whilst also retaining her femininity to a young, non-binary human raised by dwarfs, borrowing Carrot’s background and story for no immediately obvious reason.”
Frankly?

The BBC America series is sounding more and more like an utter travesty … 

I’m urging anyone I know to go nowhere near the damn thing.

Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 11th August, 2018.

11th August, 2018.


Yep: it’s a Saturday, and another early start.

Frankly, and after a career of working evenings?

I’m distinctly un-impressed by them.

Needs must, and all that … 

But?

Well … don’t ask me to like it!

Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 11-8-2016

Phew … !

You can possibly tell I’m tired.

Well … you would, if you were in my front room at the moment.

You’d ALSO be able to tell … well probably a lot.

Mostly that my floor need cleaning, the oven needs a going-over, and my chairs need either a wipe or replacing.

But … ?

I’m rather pleased to have finished the Left-hander’s day Teaser video.

It’s not perfect.

It’s FAR from perfect.

It REALLY could do with a going over … 

But … ?

We’ll see how it goes on Saturday!
