Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 25th August, 2019

29th August, 2019.

Oh, lord, yes: I’m still tired.

But, if nothing else?

I’v no one to blame but myself.

After all, I managed to stay up late, last night: watching The Midnight Meat Train, after recent comments from regular, Anne.

It’s good to have seen it, again: Vinnie Jones is still the most menacing thing in the movie.

But, boy … six and a half hour’s sleep is not good … !
