Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 3rd February, 2022

3rd February, 2022.

Right … 

It’s a Thursday: which means I’ve got a weight management class, this morning.

Which is why I started this post early: the meeting’s on Zoom, and starts at ten.

I’d like to be on time, and dressed!

On top of that … ?

I’m half expecting an old friend, this afternoon: who needed some backing up down.

I’m expecting my nephew, this afternoon: there’s a distinct possibility of more videos …
