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

12th February. 2024.

It’s officially Monday.

The day I can officially use the word ‘official’, a lot!

At least, in videos!

Paul?

Stop burbling, you’ll start annoying people!

At any rate … it’s Monday.

Which, of course, means I’ll be heading for my weekly weight management class.

Hopefully, I’ll have lost some weight!

†        Hello, Mum!

‡        I do know that — according to the relevant Wikipedia entry — that the US introduced a ban on cherry bombs, Debbi: in 1966.   I don’t know if Moon’s habit of using them to blow up hotel toilets was a factor!   (In one interview … ?   Townshend said “A lot of times when Keith was blowing up toilets, I was standing behind him with the matches.”   I don’t think Led Zeppelin could compete …)
