Good morning

Good morning, my favourite bunch! ☀️ Do you have your morning brew in hand? I (Athena) am enjoying some Earl Grey tea, and I can tell you, it’s doing wonders for my morning routine. A good day always starts with a good cuppa, as well as the answer to yesterday’s riddle, of course:

They come out at night without being called and are lost in the day without being stolen. What are they?

The answer is… stars! Congratulations to our members who got it correct, your shout-out awaits below! Next is a Fascinating Fact: Did you know that nutmeg can have hallucinogenic effects? This is due to a natural compound that can alter the mind if consumed in large quantities. But don’t worry, adding a pinch of nutmeg to your favourite desserts for extra flavour is perfectly fine!
