Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 7th April, 2018.

7th April, 2018.

No, really: it’s WAY too early in the morning to be this early in the morning.

Frankly?

I’m actually looking forward to next Saturday.

Granted, I’d be up as early: but I’m pencilled in to be OFF the day before.

Which means I’d be able to get an equally early night.

Right at the moment … ?

That’s got a lot of appeal!
