Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 21-12-2025 — Dalek Day.

21st December, 2025: Dalek Day.

Right … it’s officially Solstice.

Which means it’s the shortest day of the year, and it’s going to start getting dark, early.

Does it mean we have an excuse to start singing?

Not if you have a voice like mine!

Some else can do the job!

~≈🔔≈~

Did I mention yesterday wasn’t the Solstice … ?

Yesterday wasn’t the Solstice.

But did see my nephew pay a visit: and upload a video.

*        From what Penny was saying, Olga, she may have to authorise what she called an ‘unattended funeral’.   Which would be a shame, I think.   She also told me that Trevor hadn’t told her he’d named her as his executor … until she found the will.   Which is Trevor all over!

        I’ll look forward to the link: it sounds like it busy, though.   That’s possibly a good thing, though!

†        Hello, Mum!

‡        It’s definitely sad, Debbi.   JUST as a thought, have you still got the phone Rick took … ?   I can send it to Penny, for the memorial page.   Whether she’d use it is a whole other matter, but at least she’d have it.
