Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 2-6-2022 — Festa della Repubblica

2nd June, 2022.

Right … it’s Thursday.

And, frankly?   I’m baby — ha! — sitting my nephew, this evening.

I don’t think we’ll be marking the Jubilee: not if I know my nephew!

At any rate … ?

It looks like the day’s going to be glorious … 

~≈Á≈~

Many moons ago?

I and some friends — hello, Sean and* Laura, if your reading this! — went to see a play called My Grandmother was a Timelord: a piece that was a hell of a lot of fun.

To the point where Sean wanted to find out more.

Unfortunately?

He’s not been able to find a thing.

If you know anything about it?

Feel free to give Sean and Laura’s Tyche’s Games Facebook page a poke.
