A deer walked into a store in Colorado. The shop owner gave her some cookies. After leaving the store, she returned after half an hour with her entire family.

Ok. Apologies for the salacious end to my bulletin this morning. I somehow managed to say straight SEX instead of straight SETS in the tennis. It's early right?! @abcmelbourne @Libbi_Gorr
