Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 22-6-2017: Going Underground

*Yawn* … 

I have to say, I think that shift, yesterday?

Was a bit much … 

I managed to grab something cheap and cheerful to eat, on the way to work.

Boy, I’m regretting that.

It caused serious havoc with my innards: for the first time in months … 

I hate that when it happens.

Let’s move on, shall we?
