The Daily Teaser — 26-11-2014

Bleugh … !

And DOUBLE bleugh … !

Or possibly even triple bleugh … 

Did I tell you I was working, yesterday … ?

I didn’t … ?   I was working, yesterday.

Quite a long shift, actually.

With the net result that, this morning … ?   I am definitely felling my age,

And leg muscles.

And lower spine.

And feet.

And … well, you get my drift …
