Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 16th June, 2026.

16th June, 2026.

It’s Tuesday: and I’ve had a bad start to the day.

Pages, triggering another bout of overheating, audio components of a video project, vanishing, absolutely no birdsong … !

All that … ?

And I have to head up Warley Hill, to pick up some medication, buy sausages … and get bread … !

Combine that with the speed webpages seem to be loading, today?

Means the sooner my anxiety levels go down, the happier I’ll be!

~≈😡≈~

Let’s move on.

“The part I was originally offered ended up being something completely different, and if I'd known I was going to be asked to do the lady I finished up doing for a year, I wouldn't have been quite so happy to do it.”
