Friday Edition
Good morning, members! And welcome to another wonderful Friday. So, what's everyone got planned for today? Are you going to try out any new recipes? Or maybe you're going to do some shopping? Either way, we hope it goes smoothly. As for us, we’ve got the usual roundup of news and interesting bits and pieces for you below. But first, let’s get to the third and final riddle of the week… A big thank you to member Dennis R for sharing this one.
Pronounced as 1 letter and written with 3. 2 letters there are, and only 2 in me. I am double, I am single, black, grey or blue. I am read from ends, and the same either way, what am I?
