Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 10-9-2017

Ooooh … 

But that’s better … 

It’s a Sunday morning … and one where I’m doing my usual eleven ’til five shift.

So, of course, today … ?

I’ve got up at six: and will be getting home at six.

My points?

• I’ll probably am going to need a lot of caffeine, by the time I get home.
• I’ve got to iron some shirts, later!

Yep: it’s a fun Sunday evening, ahead!
