Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 7-6-2025 — Midway.

7th June, 2025: Midway.

It’s officially official!

My nephew, Jude, was over last night: and made a video.

Feel free to hit the ‘Like’ Button, folks: he’d appreciate it.

~≈🧒🏼≈~

Finally … I managed to see my sister’s laptop!

Unfortunately … ?

To a local tech re-seller: rather than to an individual.

It means less money: but at least the job’s done.

Now all I have to do … is take down the adverts … 

~≈💻≈~

A few weeks ago, the US deported a chap called Kilmar Ábrego García to El Salvador.

Mistakenly claiming he was in the country, illegally.

Today … ?

The US government’s decided to bring him back to the US … as they’ve accused him of people trafficking.

Could you make up?

You could.

Really, you could.

But … ?

People would accuse you of being unrealistic …

*        Hello, Mum!

†        Oh, tell me about those towers, Olga!   The new O₂ one is about half a mile away, and up a hill.   And utter rubbish!
