Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 3rd May 2025.

3rd May, 2025.

Hmmm … 

I think we can say I had an evening, last night: one with not a lot of sleep.

For various reasons.

I think I really need to learn various thing: including how not to get mugged off!

Heigh-ho!

~≈🍺≈~

You’ll possibly have realised I’ve been watching Dr Who, these past few weeks.

And … ?

Looking forward to tonight’s episode: which features a returning Ruby Sunday (Millie Gibson.)

I’m also very aware the Mark Williams vs Judd Trump semi-final could be interesting.

Especially as whoever gets through will not be facing Ronnie O’Sullivan, the game’s greatest player, but Zhao Xintong: the man who beat him.

This could be a Chinese player’s year.

Let’s move on.
