Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 29th September 2029

29th September, 2026.

Why does that happen … ?

Why is it, when you wake up on a day you know to be Tuesday, you wake up convinced it’s Sunday … ?

Despite — despite — being aware it’s Tuesday, have double-checked it’s Tuesday, have done everything you can to confirm it’s Tuesday … and yet, it feels like Sunday … 

What on Earth is going on?

I wish I knew.

There’s possibly money in finding out … !
