Nik Nak’s Daly Teaser — 6-8-2024 — Killers.

6th August, 2024.

Right then: it’s officially official.

This Teaser post is for Tuesday: but being started on Monday.

Because?

On Tuesday, 6th August, I’ll be at Basildon Hospital: having a colonoscopy.

Hopefully?

I’ll be in the clear.

But if push comes to shove*?

This examination should find anything worrying, ahead of time.

†        Hello, Mum.   I’ll let you know about a lift!
