Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 2nd March, 2018

2nd March, 2018.

Yes: it’s officially official.

It’s still cold around here: and looking to remain so for at least another day.

Frankly?

I could really do without that cold weather.

It makes getting to and from work seriously difficult.

~≈§≈~

The other official thing of note?

Is I’ve just been tinkering with the special effects in Photo Booth.

You possibly hadn’t noticed, had you?

At any rate … ?   It’s possibly something to tinker about with, further …

Harry Redknapp, born 2nd March, 1947.

*        Sounds like an interesting movie, Olga: might just have to pencil it in.   Don’t forget, I’ve seen Martyrs, which was pretty intense … !   It’ll HAVE to be when I’ve got time, and finished Mr Robot!   Frozen lakes and fountains?   That must be something to see!
