Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 20th May, 2021.

20th May, 2021.

I told you yesterday, that I have a hospital procedure, tomorrow.

I’ve got a hospital procedure, tomorrow.

So you know!

Given the nature of the procedure?

I have to fast for twenty-four hours.

Well … I say fast: more like on an extremely restricted diet.

Black tea, oxtail soup, water and jelly.

Orange or yellow jelly, for preference.

The dyes in red or purple jelly won’t play well with the procedures.

I was right in today’s intro video.

It’s not exactly going to be fun …
