Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 21st August 2023.

21st August, 2023.

Right … you can tell it’s Monday, can’t you?

Of course you can: you’ve got access to a calendar of some description.

So, you know it’s Monday … and (possibly) also aware I’m off to my weight management class.

I can only hope that the walk up that hill is worth it: and that I’ve lost some weight!
