Saturday Edition | AM

Good morning

Hello, Saturday enthusiasts! How are we this fine morning? It’s Blue here, with your daily dose of news, games, and a bit of lighthearted fun to start your weekend right. Saturday mornings are for kicking back with your favourite cuppa and having a good read. At least, that's part of my plan today. What about you? Got any special Saturday rituals that set the tone for your weekend? Share your plans with us on the forum! We’re all ears. Anyway, let’s begin with the reveal of yesterday’s riddle.

Where can you finish a book without finishing a sentence?

The answer is… prison! If that was your guess—you’ll find your name in the shout-out below! Next is our ‘What Would the Grandkids Say?’ segment. Today’s slang is ‘big mood’, which means something relatable or perfectly captures how someone is feeling. Whenever I see my cat sleeping after a tiring day, I say to myself, ‘That’s a “big mood.”’
