Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 11th June, 2023.

11th June, 2023.

I’m right, aren’t I … ?

I need a haircut.

At some point.

I’m definitely getting shaggy.

That’s not good: in the hot weather, we’re expecting!

At any rate … ?

I’ve got an upcoming busy week.

Or, at least, a busy couple of days!

Where I’m supposed to get the time — or money — for. new do?

I don’t know!

~≈£≈~

Are you a Dr Who fan?

Then you’re possibly aware that Bonnie Langford’s been spotted on the film set for the 14th Season: or possibly the specials.

Hopefully?

We’ll see her characters, Mel, get used for more than just screaming … 

Or possibly singing!

The character’s supposed to be a computer coder, after all!
