Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 3-5-2024 — Washington.

3rd May, 2024: Washington.

It’s official: it’s Friday!

Which … is possibly not important.

What IS important?

Is the fact I applied for help paying my council tax: a couple of months ago.

Yesterday?

I got a letter from the council: telling what supporting evidence they needed.

I’m going to have to check on if I can email that over!

It’s going to be cheaper than printing the files out at the library!

Anne Gorsuch Burford, speaking about Washington at a convention.
