Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 12th April, 2024.

12th April, 2024.

Right … Friday … … … 

And … ?

I hate tins!

I had a pie I got from a local food bank, a few days ago: and seriously fancied it for dinner, last night.

Could I get the lid of the tin off?

Could I heck!

I hate right-handed tin openers!

Oh … and I officially have to head to town, today.

I have a screw, loose.

In the right arm of my glasses: and, as such?

It’s going to need tightening!

Yes: I know what the adverts say.

“You should’ve gone to Specsavers.”

Except, of course, I did!

*        I’ve had a look at the website as well, Olga.   They’re doing Prime keyrings, just like the UK!   I’m missing a trick, here!

        Oh, that they do.   Mind you, him And Bobby the Cat are getting a following on YouTube.   I’m going to have to ask Jude about monetising those channels: carrots and catnip are pricey!

†        Hello, Mum!

‡        Those are en-route, Debbi!

        Is JUST the occupational therapy, wise, Debbi?   Saying that, I know the botox injections can be nasty!

        Yes: I knew about William and Mary College.   It’s named for the pair, from what I know.   I get the impression it’s very swish … !
