Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 25th August, 2022

25th August, 2022.

Yes: I’ve officially got up early.

I’ve got one of the later in a series of weight management program meeting.

At ten.

What was nice … ?

Is simply the fact that I woke up to rain: which is much needed.

And to an almighty flash of lightning, along with the appropriate thunder, thunder that sounded like it was going off over-head … 

And that possibly would’ve woken the dead.

Which is nice.

After the heatwave this year, we needed that!

~≈⚡️≈~

JUST as a thought … ?

My nephew, Jude, was over, yesterday.

Video occurred!

As did ducks … 

~≈🦆≈~

And finally … ?

I’ve posted my written and video reviews of the last episode of Stranger Things’ fourth series.

The next series is going to be big!

~≈🧟≈~
