Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 29th July 2024

29th July, 2024.

Right, then … Mondays … !

I am, as you can imagine, up early, again.

Yep: it’s weight management class day.

I gained a little, last week: even though the general trend is still downwards.

Hopefully?

I’ll’ve lost something!

I do know I’ve a colonoscopy, next Tuesday.

And that I have to start taking the laxatives, today.

I’m not looking forward to that.

To nick an idea from Orwell?

It’s DoublePlusUnFun!
