Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 21-12-2022 — The Daleks

21st December, 2022: The Daleks

Right … it’s now officially Wednesday: and the shortest day of the year.

Frankly?

It’s one I’m expecting to be quiet.

Well … quiet … bar worrying about my gas bill.

I had my voucher, yesterday: the one that’s part of the fuel rebate, and that got held up by the postal strike and bad weather.

I cashed that off as soon as I got it, and put the money onto my gas meter.

Seeing how much money was on there, after the recent cold snap?

That was scary … !

*        I have to admit, I had to have a look at the Portrait, Olga: I see what you mean about Blue Period.

        The recording went well so you know.   Jude’s now got another video up: and has another scheduled for 18:00GMT on Christmas Day.   I might just have to make use of that scheduling feature, myself!

        Nice to hear the voice survive: lets hope is stays that way!

†        Hello, Mum!

‡        You have to wonder, Debbi, you really do!
