Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 12th January 2024.

12th January, 2024.

Yay!

It’s Friday!

Which, frankly … ?

Is yet another day of the week!

Exciting Fridays are usually something that happen to other people.

Personally?

I’ll be writing quizzes, possibly watching a movie … 

And maybe seeing what happens.

~≈ß≈~

One thing I do know I’d love to do … ?

Is buy the latest box set of classic Doctor Who adventures.

It seems the latest — series 15 — is now available for pre-order on Amazon.

I’ll have to think about saving up for that!

Whilst enjoying the trailer: Louise Jameson’s back as Leela!
