Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 5-3-2019: Saint Piran’s Day

5th March, 2019.

It’d got to be said, getting cards on my birthday?

Is always nice … 

Even though it always tells me I’m getting older.

But, in spite of that … ?

It was definitely nice to get the card I got from my eight year nephew, Jude.

Well … 

There was cake … 

~≈§≈~

Saying that?   The day — as ever — had its ups and downs.

After all, hearing that Keith Flint and Luke Perry had died — both not that much older or younger than me — was a bit shocking.

My condolences go to their families.

On the up side … ?

Ish … ?

I’ve finally heard back from BT.   No, I didn’t get the job.

But they have agreed to try  and send some feedback.

That’s something.

Oh … and I’ve caught another episode of El Ministerio Del Tiempo.

That is quite a show … !

D. H.  Lawrence.

*        Morning, Badwolf!
