Hello, everyone! Happy Tuesday! I (Jarred) hope you're all having a great morning so far. Whether you're enjoying a delicious breakfast or savouring a warm cup of tea, I'm excited to bring you this newsletter and hopefully make your morning even better. 😉 So, let's get started!

The answer to the riddle is… Mosquitoes! I know they can be a pain, especially during the warmer months, but thankfully there are plenty of mosquito patches and sprays to help keep them at bay.

We stumbled upon this wonderful photo from Melbourne back in 1965. It's a snapshot of the bustling lunchtime rush in the city, complete with three coffee shop signs in the background. It's pretty clear that Australia has always had a love affair with coffee, right? We'd love to hear about your lunchtime habits and haunts. Did you enjoy grabbing a bite with coworkers or taking a moment to relax with a solo meal? Share your stories with us on the forum! And if you have any other nostalgic memories to share, we'd love to read about those too.
