Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 30-5-2020: The Waltz of Joan of Arc

30th May, 2020.

I often get earworms: songs playing their way through my head.

Right at the moment?   I’m drowning out the one I woke up to, with OMD’s Architecture and Morality LP.

Possibly one of the best they ever recorded.

Ignore everything after The Beginning and the End, by the way: those songs weren’t on the original track listing.

At any rate … ?   I work up with the word, ‘antagonist*,’ floating around my head: in the same way an earworm would.

The thing that got me?   Is that it sounded — to me — like the title of a bad western† … 

Or possibly a Greek play.

Yeah … 

It’s a bit early, isn’t it … ?

Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 30-5-2018: Joan of Arc.

30th May, 2018.

Yes: I went out, yesterday.

No, really!

Fully expecting to make an appointment at the GPs — to talk about my scan results.

Except … ?

Except it started raining when I got to the bus stop.   Which I figured would happen.   I had check the BBC’s weather page for my area, after all.

Except … ?

I ALSO figured it wouldn’t last long … 

By the time I got off the bus … ?

The sprinkle of rain had got worse: turning into something vaguely approaching a monsoon-style torrent … 

And leaving me, someone who’d foolishly left his coat indoors … ?

Drenched.

Frankly?   I avoided the doctors.

In the time it would’ve taken for me to get there … ?

I’d’ve dissolved … !
