Good morning

Rise and shine, members! 🌞 I (Athena) hope you’re having a fantastic morning! I had a quick yoga session earlier, so I’m feeling very energised. But if you’re still feeling a bit sleepy, we’ve got the perfect pick-me-up for you, starting with the answer to yesterday’s riddle:

The answer is… odometer! Well done to those who got it correct; we have a shout-out for you below! Next, a Fascinating Fact! Did you know that an Australian cattle dog named Bluey held the record for the longest-lived dog? While their average lifespan is typically between 10-15 years, Bluey lived to the age of 29 years and 5 months before passing away in 1939.
