Reaching 300,000 of Australia's Wise and Wonderful Every Day

Monday Edition | AM

Good morning

Rise and shine, my wonderful SDC family! I (Vella) hope your weekend was just what you needed—whether that meant diving into a new adventure or simply enjoying some well-deserved rest. Can you believe it’s already November? Seriously, where did the time go? Are you ready to start decorating or shopping for the holidays? Or is that jumping the gun a bit? I’d love to hear your thoughts here. Now, I know what you’re thinking: it’s time for our first riddle of the week:

I am a bird, I am a fruit, and I am a person. What am I?

Submit your answers in our Riddle Masters thread here. If you get it correct, you’ll get a shout-out tomorrow. Before we get into today’s stories, some of you may still be having trouble receiving our newsletters. Don't worry—we’re working hard to fix those deliverability issues. In the meantime, you can always read our newsletters on our website or through our apps on your Apple and Android devices.
