Good morning

Good morning, members, and welcome to Saturday! I (Blue) am back in your inbox to sprinkle a wee bit of joy. What’s on your agenda today? I might be out with friends this evening for a quick catch-up. What about you? Are you hitting up a local shop or planning a lovely family barbecue? Do tell us here; sharing is caring, after all! Oh, we can’t have you waiting a moment longer for yesterday’s riddle answer, can we?
