Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 12-8-2021: World Elephant Day

12th August, 2021.

I have to say, I’ve looked out of the front door of Damon House, today.

And yes: it’s warm … and overcast.

I can only hope it doesn’t rain: I’ve got to pick up some medications, today!

I’d hate to get wet.

If you’re not a Star Trek fan?

You’ve possibly never heard of Star Trek Lower Decks.

The animated series started in lock-down.

And it’s second series starts today.

If it’s anything like the first?

It’ll be hysterical.
