Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 3rd December 2025

3rd December, 2025.

Right … it’s Wednesday: and … ?

I’ve dug up the sunglasses on a day that’s promising to be overcast, at the very least.

“Why the shades?”, I hear you ask.

That’s easy to answer.

Today’s the day for my diabetic eye check.

Experience — as well as repeated medical explanation — tells me the nurse carrying the procedure will use eye drops to make my pupils dilate, so the examination can see inside my eyes.

So, of course, on the walk home … ?

Things are going to look a lot brighter than they should!

Heigh … … ho!

~≈😎≈~

Oh, JUST as a thought … ?

My nephew, Jude, was over, last night.

Along side an early lift home from his mother, and a pizza.

It’s the first time I’ve known my nephew to have pepperoni on a pizza.

But not the first time he’s made a video …

The President of the USA is being a racist: and yes, there’s ruder terms I could be using.

In a recent, televised, Cabinet meeting — told how he wants Somalis to leave the country: or “… go back to where they came from”, as he put it.

I’m wondering all sorts of things.

But mostly how the many Somali-Americans, and the American Somali community, feel about that.

A man holding the highest office in the land, a man who’s supposed to protect all Americans, regardless of origins, is starting to pick on people.

Or, at least, pick on more people: Americans of Mexican origins aren’t fond of the man.

I’ve got to ask … 

Who’s next, Mr President?

~≈🇸🇩≈~

Let’s move on.

“I love you all; I love you more than life itself, but you’re all fucking mad!”

Ozzy Osbourne, 3 December 1948 – 22 July 2025.

A Ralph McTell song …

        The president’s being an idiot, again, Debbi!
