Good morning

Good morning, members and a warm Thursday welcome to all of you! I (Athena) hope this day brings a spring to your step and a smile to your face. I have been busy lately since I started a new hobby: crocheting! I find it really satisfying to turn a ball of yarn into something functional. But enough about me, let’s reveal the answer to yesterday’s riddle:

Of the king, I am blue, and of the peasant, I am red. Of the frog, I am cold, and of the dog, I am hot. What am I?

And the answer is… blood! Kudos to those who got it correct. We have a shout-out for you below! Up next is a Fascinating Fact! Did you know that the longest book ever written is A la recherche du temps perdu by Marcel Proust? The book, translated to Remembrance of Things Past, contains almost 1.3 million words!
