Good morning and happy Saturday to you all! I (Vella) am absolutely thrilled to be here with you this lovely morning. There’s truly nothing quite like waking up to a weekend, eh? No alarms, no urgent matters — just a blissful sense of freedom to savour the day at your own pace. As we step into this beautiful weekend, I hope you’ll find time to unwind, connect with your loved ones, and indulge in some mouth-watering delights. As Christopher McCandless once said, ‘Happiness is only real when shared.’ So, let’s make the most of this weekend by creating cherished moments and sharing laughter with our loved ones.
Now, let’s get cracking on today’s goodies, shall we? First things first, let’s reveal the answer to yesterday’s riddle. So, what was it again?
Four men sat down to play; they played all night till the break of day. They played for gold and not for fun, with separate scores for every one. When they had come to square accounts, they all had made quite fair amounts. Can you the paradox explain, if no one lost, how all could gain?
Oh, this one was a toughie! The men were musicians, and they were paid for their performances! So, did you get it correct? If you did, you’ll find a shout-out further down this newsletter!
On to our next segment, ‘What Would the Grandkids Say?’ Today’s term is 'hype'. When something or someone is described as having 'hype,' it means there's a lot of excitement, anticipation, or buzz surrounding that particular thing or person. So, when your grandkids say their favourite band's new album is 'hyped,' they mean the album has a lot of people talking and eagerly waiting for it.
