‘I don’t care if Monday’s blue, Tuesday’s grey, and Wednesday too, Thursday, I don’t care about you. It’s Friday, I’m in love!’ Good morning, members! Can you believe it’s finally Friday? I (Vella) couldn’t help but start our morning with a little serenade from The Cure, one of my favourite bands. I woke up with a skip in my step, feeling thrilled because the weekend is finally within our reach. I don’t know about you, but waking up happy and in love certainly sets the tone for an amazing day ahead. The best part? I’ll finally be reunited with my partner after her fun holiday in Vietnam. But hey, enough about me. I hope you’re feeling fantastic and this Friday brings you love, joy, and everything that makes your heart sing.
Now, without further ado, let’s dive into today’s newsletter. First on the agenda is our third and final riddle of the week:
I have two arms but fingers none. I have two feet but cannot run. I carry well, but I have found I carry best with my feet OFF the ground. What am I?
Ooh, a real puzzler, isn’t it? Are you up for the challenge? If you think you’ve got the answer, head over to the riddle masters thread here. If you get the answer correct, we’ll give you a shout-out in tomorrow’s newsletter!
