Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 29-11-2025 — Yugoslavia

29th November, 2025: Yugoslavia.

Right, it’s now Saturday … 

And I’m still having earworms.

Yes: Sheldon Cooper’s still playing the blessed bongos in my head!

Why … ?

If I could work that out, or why the bongos are following the Yugoslav Dalek around, I’d make a big fortune … !

~≈🪘≈~

I was in town, yesterday: picking up a few bits.

And, on the way back … ?

Got passed by a police car: and a fire engine.

And heard what turned out to be an ambulance, as well.

It turns out there’s been a fire in a house not far from where I live: something a neighbour managed to grab a photo of.

Going by the damage in that photo?

And assuming it IS of where the fire happened?

It’s quite serious: so the talk that someone died in the fire, understandable.

And a tragedy …
