Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 19-9-2023 — Talk Like A Pirate Day.

19th September, 2023: Talk Like A Pirate Day.

Hm … 

It’s Tuesday: you’d noticed, hadn’t you … ?

So?

Well, I’ve got my nephew, this afternoon: videos may well be made.

But it’s also the day after my weight management group.

I’ve lost some weight: which is all to the good.

Especially as I’d gained, in previous weeks.

That’s something good, I think.

~≈Â≈~

I’m on Twitter.

Or X, as it now is.

And … ?

Noticed a piece in the news that tells us Elon Musk is planning to introduces a charge for those of us who have a free account.

Frankly?

I hope it doesn’t: that’s money I can ill afford.

But just so you know?

I’m on Mastodon, Facebook, YouTube and Instagram, in case you’re wondering!
