Good morning

Rise and shine, my (Sethia) dear friends! Ah, Saturday—doesn't it just have a nice ring to it? What's on the cards today for you? Coffee is on the agenda for me, and maybe a cheeky croissant to treat myself. I hope you find the time to do something nice for yourself too! Now, let’s answer yesterday’s riddle, shall we?

What has black spots and a white face, is fat, not thin, and helps you to win but tumbles all over the place?
