Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 23rd January 2025.

23rd January, 2025.

Right … I had the occupational therapist teams, in yesterday.

Measuring up for cupboards, wouldn’t you know?

I’m feeling pleased about it.

As the pair have agreed that, yes, my cupboards should be lowered.

Now … ?

Now all we need to do is persuade my landlord it’s wosname thing something they should do.

Here’s hoping!

Thank you for coming: have a good day.

*        Hello, Mum … !

†        I know I’ve had to dig up an adjustable wrench, Olga: it struck me getting hold of the thing in a hurry would be wise.

        I think it’s always handy to have some tools.   An old boss always used to say “It’s better to have and not need them, rather than need them and have them.”

‡        Well, yeah, that is the other word, Debbi!   (The song is the first thing that sprang to mind … )
