Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 30th November 2023

30th November, 2023.

Right … it’s now Thursday … 

So … ?

That means it’s looking cold outside.

I had a look out of my window, when I got up, this morning.

There was definite frost: and a certain amount of fog.

Which will make posting Christmas cards something I’ll have to be quick about.

Especially today: as I have an NHS phone appointment.

It’s one I’m slightly nervous about: especially if the results are any kind of positive.

I’ll try and let you know more, when I get them.

*        Hello, Mum!   (Were you signed in properly, yesterday, Mum?   You showed up as anonymous!)

†        Hello, I’m Pete, again, Olga!   🤣   At any rate … !   Free medication is always handy!   Free anything can be good, whoever we are!

        I’m not TOO sure what Mikey was thinking about, Olga: I’m assuming it was carrots!   Or kale.   (It’s been cold, recently: so Jude’s tried keeping him indoors!   He likes hiding under chairs, so you know.   Mikey, that is!)

‡        I’m with you there, Debbi!

        Totally off the subject?   Kissinger’s died.   That’ll possibly earn my recent Cambodia set a few hits: there was a quote about him, on it.
