Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 11th September, 2018.

11th September, 2018.

Yes … 

Now I come to look at that video … ?

I’m thinking that’s possibly a poor choice of filter.

It ode make my face look a bit … you know … 

Chunky … !

That’s possibly besides the point.

Potatoes or otherwise, I did managed to have a day off, yesterday.

And caught more episodes of American Horror Story, last night.

I think we can say Cult is far from chunky!
