Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 2nd December 2022.

2nd December, 2022.

Right … it’s Friday: and … ?

I’m feeling slightly rushed.

I’m too easily distracted by silly games … and by the fact I’m boiling a lot of water: with bleach in it.

Yes: I’m bleaching my teatowels.

It might take a while.

But I’ve got plenty of time before my hygienist’s appointment.

I don’t know what I’ll be going on Sunday, 25th June, 2023.

I know what Elton John’s going to up to.

He’ll be playing his last gig: at Glastonbury.

That … ?   Might be worth watching.

Elton’s got one HELL of a reputation … !
