Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 10th January, 2021.

10th January, 2021.

You know … 

I think we can say it’s cold out!

I know: I’ve just had a look: both outside … and at the BBC’s Weather page.

Quite what they mean by ‘a gentle Breeze,’ though?

I really don’t know.

Get out onto Saint James Road, most days, and you get a wind tunnel.

*        No guitar!   We’re going to have to get you a violin, Olga!   And yes: there’s been arrests: the QAnon Shaman seems to have been picked up.   Whether that’s for trespass or the silly outfit, I don’t know!
