Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 14th January 2023 Teaser.

14th January, 2023.

It’s officially official: it’s Saturday.

Which means?   That I’ve got a night out, ahead of me: my youngest sister, Ruth, bought my nephew and I a night out at Wifi Wars.

Which sounds like fun.

I also have an admission.

I saw the Spielberg version of West Side Story, on Thursday: and posted my written and video review, last night.

And, as I said in that video?

Ariana DeBose, as Anita, put in one hell of a performance.
