Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 31st March 2025.

31st March, 2025.

Right … it’s officially early, on what’s officially Monday morning.

And … ?

I’m up early: again.

Yes: I’m off to my weight management meeting, today.

Desperately hoping I’ve lost weight: last week’s weigh gain was a little too big for my comfort … !

~≈⚖️≈~

At any rate, getting up this early, after the clocks went forward?

Is nice.

As it means waking up in the dark.

There’s something a little romantic about that … 

~≈❤️≈~

That’s a good thing … 

English pharmacies will have a new service: free morning after pills for those who need them.

I think that’s going to be a much needed service: there’s always going to be a need for it, I think.

But … ?

I’m also aware Britain’s had a history of pro-life protestors, blocking abortion clinics.

And wondering if we’ll see them outside the local chemist.

I doubt it.

I doubt we’ll see it.

I seriously doubt it’ll happen.

I hope I’m right … !

~≈⚚≈~
