Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 16-8-2019: Peterloo

16th August, 2019.

Phew!

I’ve had a last minute shift swap!

I am ever so thankful.

It means I didn’t have to get up at silly o’clock, to get to work on time!

Here’s hoping I can stand up by the end of the shift!

Either way … ?   I know I managed to catch a couple of movies over the past couple of days.

Frankly?

I’m grateful.

At least one of them was fantastic!
