Tuesday Edition

Good morning

Good morning, folks! And a very happy Tuesday to you all! How are you feeling today? I (Vella) am feeling great! I’ve been enjoying getting back into my fitness routine, which is contributing to how good I’ve been feeling. This month has been jam-packed with birthday celebrations, catching up with friends, and work. So I haven't been living the healthiest lifestyle. But I'm back on track now, and I feel much better for it. I’ve even managed to rope my partner into joining me, which is fantastic! I think it’s important to find an activity you enjoy and can do with a friend or loved one. It makes working out so much more enjoyable, don’t you think? We’re planning on boxing this weekend, so I’m really looking forward to that. How about you? What activities have you been enjoying lately? Share them with us in our forum here. We love hearing from you lot!

Now, let’s move on to the answer to yesterday’s riddle.

I touch the Earth, I touch the sky, but if I touch you, you'll surely die. What am I?

And the answer is… lightning! We thought this one would be a real stumper, but many of you were able to see through it. If you got the answer correct, head further down the newsletter for your well-deserved shout-out!

Now then, what's happening in Australia and around the world today?
