Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 11th December 2023

11th December, 2023.

Right then … 

It’s officially Monday morning: and I’m up early, again.

Frankly?

It’s the last of my weight management meetings for the year.

Here’s hoping I’ve lost weight.

~≈Ü≈~

I’m feeling more tired than I should … because … ?

Frankly, I finished my review of “The Giggle”, the last of the Doctor Who anniversary specials.

I hope you enjoy it … !

†        Glad to help, Debbi!   :D

‡        I must have missed that bit, Trevor …
