Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 21st May, 2021.

21st May, 2021.

Right, I’m up early: because I’ve got a hospital appointment, today.

For an endoscopy.

I’m not looking forward to it: but once it’s done, it’s done.

I can then start worrying the results.

Hopefully, it’s nothing more serious than piles …

ª        Cheers, Edith, you’re an angel!   (We’ve a little Fats Waller, today: bit of a different direction!)
