Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 3-12-2018: Ozzy!

3rd December, 2018.

Yep: I really need a haircut, I think.

Hopefully?

I’ll be able to afford at: once I’ve had my initial batch of Universal Credit through.

We’ll have to see.

At ANY rate … ?

I’ve managed to catch last night’s episode of Dr Who: and thoroughly enjoyed it.

Which is an interesting little watch.

And one that seems to be getting a lot of discussion on Twitter.

Personally?

I like it: although it definitely seemed to be nodding at Coraline.

And possibly Slartibartfast.

At any rate … ?

It’s worth a watch.
