Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 30-3-2020: Florida, Again …

30th March, 2020.

Right … 

The one thing I can do, today?

Is make sure I buy binbags!

I forgot them on Saturday.

And, wouldn’t you know it?

Nowhere nearby had any!

Isn’t shopping a drag … ?

~≈¥≈~

At any rate … ?

The lockdown’s not made much of a difference for me: I’m trying to keep in touch with friends and family.

And trying to keep job hunting, and blogging, as well.

I’m in the midst of prepping up the next set of Teaser videos as we speak.

Because I’m doing that … ?

The Star Trek Picard reviews are … taking longer than I though they would.

But … ?

I’ll be adding to that list: Michelle Hurd’s something to watch!

As is Patrick Stewart’s ’Allo ’Allo routine … !
