Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 29-5-2025 — International Day of United Nations Peace Keepers

29th May, 2025: International Day of United Nations Peace Keepers.

I’ve only a few quid left.

But … ?

I’ve managed to get a couple of posters printed: to try and advertise my sister’s Chromebook.

Hopefully: those will help.

At least, once I’ve got the black-and-white ones placed: there’s usually a couple of shops that help.

Here’s hoping … !

Here’s the ad.
