Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 5-12-2022 — Little Richard.

5th December, 2022: Little Richard.

Right … it’s Monday.

And?

I’ve got the heating on.

It’s cold!

And, frankly?

I’m hoping the weather outside will warm up.

I’ve got a meeting at the Job centre, today.

I’d hate to freeze on the way … !

Thank you for coming: have a good day.

*        Oooh … !   Cheers, Olga!   Nice to have some Salsa/Afro-beat fusion in the morning!   :D   They must have been something to catch live.   And I notice the bassist’s pregnant: good luck to her!

        Sunday went well: I think the scammers on Instagram were slowing down!   (One’s trying to message me now: dearie me!)

        At any rate, have a good day: and say ‘Hello,’ to Jordi for me, please!

‡        Very true, Debbi: I finally managed to get my neighbours done, last night!   Apart from one or two people I don’t actually know.

        Glad you liked it, Debbi!   There’s a review floating around: but you knew that, didn’t you … ?   (There’s possibly a way of sending more: I’ll let you know … !)

        Oh … 4th December is National Cookie Day in the US … … … … … 

^        That reminds me, Trevor, I’ll have to check my Thunderball tickets on Wednesday.   (That sounds like quite a holiday!)
