Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 21st June, 2023.

21st June, 2023.

Right … I’m officially going to go back to bed, at some point.

Have a siesta, in other words!

Why?

Frankly, I’m knackered after posting a video review late at night … 

A video review that was delayed … after helping my nephew film HIS latest piece of work!

Heigh … HO!

Today’s questions will be answered in tomorrow’s Teaser.

Thank you for coming: have a good day.

*        Hello, Mum!

†        Wow!   Spain sounds even more complicated than the UK!   We only have to worry about three devolved parliaments, the country and town councils … oh, and parish councils.   Apparently, Brentwood has a few of them: just none in Warley!

        Yes: it’s good to finally hear!   I’m also told they don’t need me to put in more Fit Notes.   However, the system has asked for one, automatically.   I’ve got one on order, as the PIP assessors are asking.   And frankly, I’d rather be cautious about these things.

‡        You always VERY welcome, Debbi!   (It’s definitely sussessor states, Debbi: I checked on those!)
