Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 29th March 2023.

29th March, 2023.

Yep!

It’s Wednesday.

And, frankly?

I’m expecting a phone call from my GP: to check on how some pain killers are working.

At any rate … ?

I had my nephew over, yesterday.

You’ll’ve possibly guessed he’s posted a video …

*        Hello, Mum!

†        OK: we’ll catch you when you’re in, Olga.   Don’t forget to send us a postcard: and don’t get caught up in the barricades!

‡        I’m not fussy, Debbi: so long as it’s a sugar free Carmelite!   You have to love diabetes!   (Oh, Teresa was a discalced Carmelite: they didn’t wear shoes, it seems.)

        You’ve not seen Things to do in Denver When You're Dead?   Shame on you!   You’ve missed one hell of a film!   Christopher Walken is seriously menacing!
