Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 28th March 2024.

28th March, 2024.

Right … Thursday … 

It’s the day before Friday: and frankly, after Wednesday.

But you’d guessed that!

At any rate … ?

I still have my sister’s laptop to sell: as no-one’s, seemingly, interested in it!

I might just have to head for my nearest branch of CeX, over in Romford.

If they won’t take it … ?

There’s a Cash Converters, next door.

*        14?   Not that much older than Jude, then, Olga.   It’s that challenging sort of age, isn’t it?   At any rate?   It sounds like a good time was had by all!

        I’ve got very vague memories of Barcelona Sants Station, now you mention trains.   It struck me the place was huge: but I was quite young at the time!

†        Hello, Mum!

‡        That’s OK, Debbi: I know it must have been urgent!

        (Oh, re the bridge?   Apparently, a couple of bodies have been found.   The poor sods: all they wanted to do was fill pot holes, and get paid!)
