Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 10-3-2019: Mario.

20th March, 2019.

Yes … it’s a Sunday … 

And frankly?

It’s looking like it’s going to be something of a quiet one.

Well … 

I’m not planning on doing much, I know that much … 

Bar the usual: house work, jobhunting, making videos …

Those … and the usual panicked, last minute, reorganising of finances!
