Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 23-11-2018: Dr Who … ?

23rd November, 2018.

Yep: it’s a Friday.

And the first Friday I’ve not had wages for a while.

Or benefit payments.

Frankly, I’m expecting those, this time next month.

I think that — if things don’t improve — I’m going to have to put in for a hardship payment.

Cie La Vie … 

~≈§≈~

At any rate … ?

I’ve enough in my accord to head out, and get a loaf and some milk.

But I’m going to have to wait.

As I’ve a phone interview, today.

Hopefully … ?

It’ll go a little better than others …
