Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 29th April 2025.

29th April, 2025.

Right … 

It’s the day after.

“What?”, I hear you cry.

It’s the day after yesterday.

Which possibly means a lot: but there you go.

~≈⚡️≈~

I do know regular reader, Olga, lives in Spain: and got hit by yesterday’s power cuts.

She’s safe: as power is being re-connected.

Quite why the Cut happened?

No one seems sure.

I’d love to know what caused it: as, I suspect would Olga, and the rest of the Iberian Peninsula.

But … ?

I suspect it’s going to be a while before we find out …
