Tuesday Edition
Good morning members, and welcome to another fine and dandy Tuesday! Ah, we do love a good Tuesday here at the SDC HQ. It’s that time of the week when we are all getting back into the swing of things after the weekend and are ready to tackle the week head-on. So, what’s on the agenda for today? Us? We have a great big mountain of stories for you to check out, and as always, we absolutely cannot wait to show you all. 😉 So without further ado, here we go!
First things first, let’s give you the answer to yesterday’s riddle!
I can be long, I can be short. I can grow and I can be bought. I can be painted, or left bare. I can be round, or I can be square. What am I?
The answer is... drumroll, please... fingernails! How did you go? Was it easy, or did you find it a little more tricky? We had a few people get it right, so if you did, make sure you scroll down to the bottom of the newsletter for your shout-out!
