The Daily Teaser — 13-12-2015

You know, I think I’m getting old.

Whilst, of course, still mentally feeling like a teenager, at times.

Either way … ?

Well, either way, I’m getting old.

And starting to feel … not the heat … but the cold.

Right at the moment … ?

Right at the moment, it’s just coming up to 7:43, my heating is on … 

And I’m definitely thinking my boiler’s taking its time to do its thing!

Brrr … !
