Good morning
G’day, members! It’s a lovely Saturday, and I (Blue) am thrilled to bring you tales, tips, and a sprinkle of wit this morning. I have some time for myself today and plan to read some books. Who else shares a love for reading? Share your favourite titles in the forum! I’d love to see what you’re interested in! For now, let's reveal the answer to yesterday’s Word Unscramble.
E G N I L H S
The word is… ENGLISH! If you got it correct, you’ll find your name in our shout-out below. Now, onto our ‘What Would the Grandkids Say?’ segment. Today’s word is ‘IYKYK’. An acronym for ‘if you know, you know,’ it refers to something understood only by a select group. If you mention going to a bush dance, only a few will get you, so you’ll say, ‘IYKYK’. One last thing, we’re still having issues sending our newsletters. We’re working hard to resolve it, but in the meantime, feel free to share with your fellow members that they can catch our daily newsletters on our website or through the Apple or Android apps. If you’re already subscribed, don't forget to add us to your ‘primary inbox’ to ensure the SDC is marked as a safe sender!
