Good Morning 👋

Last week, 66.57% of you voted in favour of Option 2: “Thursday’s edition covers Friday to Monday instead of just Friday to Sunday.”

This change will take effect in this Thursday’s edition.

You might also notice I’ve added some new content breaks—like wildlife, coffee, trees, and other nice things—to give the newsletter a bit more personality. I also tweaked the font!

There are more ideas in the works, so let me know what you think of the changes by voting in the poll at the bottom of this email.

It’s a quieter week for events, so I went hunting and found some social sports activities where you can make new friends. I hope you find something that sparks your interest!

Have a great week!

~Michael
