Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 6-9-2023 — Eswatini.

6th September, 2023: Eswatini.

Right … it’s officially a Wednesday.

And?

Unless the Department of Work and Pensions suddenly decide to give me a ton of cash?

One I suspect is going to be both hot: and quiet.

~≈Ê≈~

Oh, before I forget … ?

Yes: my nephew, Jude, was over last night.

Yes: he’s uploaded another video … 

And yes: I’ve managed to help him set up a new Playstation 5: one with a blu-ray drive.

Yes, that was expensive: but gives me an idea of what to get him for Christmas.
