Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 6th December 2022.

6th December, 2022.

I have to admit: I woke up, today, in the cold.

I had my heating off, over night.

I have a duvet: rather than more money for gas.

And … ?

I’ve woken up shivering … to find it was four degrees, outside.

Cold … ?

I should say so!

        Slowly but surely’s always the best way, isn’t it … ?

‡        I couldn’t tell the difference, either, Debbi.   Saying that?   Biscuits go soft when stale: and cakes go hard.

        Oh, did you hear … ?   Donald Trump wants to suspend the Constitution.   I’m saying nothing …
