Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 17-2-2019: Madam Butterfly

17th February, 2019.

Yes … I’ve got a cold!

Damn it!

I am … well, in a very definite non-McDonalds way?

I’m not loving it.

I’v got Helicopter, Helicopter and Breakfast — both from The Associates album, Perhaps — banging through my head: at complete cross-purposes …

*        Yeah: I’m always losing screws, @Badwolf‡!   (One thing I saw?   Suggested putting the screws on a sheet of kitchen paper!)

†        I’ll just sit here and grin, Debbi‡.   :D   (Oh, my copy of Dr Who and The Loch Ness Monster turned up, yesterday.   It’s near the top of my reading list … )
