Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 24rd March 2026.

24th March, 2026.

OK, it’s officially Tuesday: the day after I had the second payday of the month … 

And the day after I did the month’s shopping.

“And”, I hear you say.

“And … ?”

I forget gravy.

And sausages.

There’s probably other stuff, as well.

All that means heading back to Sainsbury’s, again.

Ho … … … HUM!
