Savannah, 28, and Michael, 32, met in Barcelona in 2017 when she was a teacher and he was playing tennis. After a long-distance relationship, they married and now live in Sydney

hen Savannah moved to Barcelona to teach English in 2017, meeting someone was the last thing on her mind. “It was a sort of Eat, Pray, Love experience,” she says. “I’d broken up with my ex and wanted to spend some time away. I left my job in London and went to Spain.”

They met up for brunch, which turned into an eight-hour date. “We went to a bar after brunch, then lunch, then to another bar. It was just so easy to be around each other,” says Michael. From that day on, they began to see each other frequently and their relationship developed quickly. “We practically moved in together a week later.”

Afterwards, they returned to Barcelona, but Michael’s visa was running out. They split up at the end of January, thinking it would be “too hard” to carry on. “We decided it had been an amazing three months, but we’d go our separate ways,” she says. Logistically they didn’t see how it was possible to make it work. But within just a few days of Michael leaving, the pair realised they wanted to give long-distance love a go.

Joe Biden did the ‘right thing’ destroying China’s surveillance balloonUS President Joe Biden did the “right thing” destroying China’s surveillance balloon, according to Sky News host Paul Murray. “The US did exactly the right thing to say ‘okay, there is no one on this thing, you claim it is a weather balloon, let’s double check, it falls down and let’s see what happens',” he said. “But you have got to push back.” Should have never been allowed to enter US airspace! The damage is done. Any data or intelligence that was gathered has been transmitted in real time back to China. Was it though? As soon as it entered US airspace they could of seized it and gathered intelligence or destroyed it. So satellites are obsolete?

‘It’s a control thing’: why are we so fascinated by super-organised homes?It’s the age of decanting – never before have household perfectionists removed so many things from packages only to put them in other packages. Extreme tidiness is a modern obsession. But is it healthy? Nope. Homes like this scream it’s a house not a home. Homes feel comfortable, welcoming, safe and aren’t perfect. A control freak would have a place like this. [Narrator's voice] 'We were not actually so fascinated by super-organised homes.' It’s a maintenance thing. When your home is organised, it’s easier to keep it clean and free of clutter and waste. It’s a similar concept to children’s toys. When they have a sea of “things” around them, their possessions start to lack sentiment value or importance.

Albanese pressed on more ambitious emissions targetThe Prime Minister was asked why a wealthy nation such as Australia could not commit to a more ambitious emissions reduction target than the already legislated 43 per cent. Coming from someone who hasn’t never owned a business, had to choose between which utility bill to pay or struggle to put enough petrol in the car. Why should Auzzies go without when the Davos elite fly in hundreds of business jets to sample European prostitutes? Is it because it’s pointless?
