Good afternoon, dearest members! Ah, another delightful Monday is here! We're humbled and excited to be gracing your inbox and, hopefully, helping make your afternoon cheerier.

How was your weekend? I (Sethia) had the pleasure of reconnecting with an old friend and indulging in some karaoke together. It was truly rewarding to touch base and reminisce about memories from years gone by. Reaching out to friends, no matter how much time has elapsed, is always a worthwhile endeavour! Perhaps you, too, should reach out to a good friend this week. A quick call or planning a day out with someone special can lift anyone’s mood!

Now, what is happening across Australia and around the world this afternoon?

• The iconic author behind Possession, dubbed as 'one of the most significant writers of our time', as well as a beloved Australian radio star, have passed away. May they rest in peace.
