Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 3rd October 2018

3rd October, 2018.

Yep: I have to admit, my bleak mood managed to finish, last night.

I think I owe both Debbi and Olga a big thank you for the concern, there … !

At ANY rate?

The bleak mood was something that died … 

Thankfully.

~≈§≈~

At ANY rate … ?

I managed to catch myself a movie, last night.

He say, making assorted ‘Yay’ noises.

The 2014 Gareth Edwards directed version of Godzilla.

Having completely forgotten I’d already seen it.

Can you do me a favour?

Remind me not to do that, again!

Cheers.

Oh, JUST as a final point … ?

It seems someone in the US has invented a pair of sunglasses that can block screens.

Frankly?

Peril sensitive sunglasses are on the way …
