Monday Edition
My oh my it’s Monday yet again and you know what that means? Ah yes of course, the first riddle of the week! This week, we are kicking off this week with a challenging one, so drum roll please…
Four tots were playing in the Kindergarten sandpit. “I notice that all of them but one has a number on his back," said a visitor. "Jack has 2, Benjamin 6, Leslie 6 and Brian 4. From those clues, I think I can deduce what number Terrence should carry." Can you?
Ooooooh deary me. This one is a tough one, there is no doubt about that. A big thanks to member Suzi H. for sharing this one with us! If you think you know the answer, post it in our forum here, and if you get the answer correct, we will give you a shout out in tomorrow’s newsletter. Not a bad deal, if you ask us 😉
Now, let’s get stuck into some news shall we? What’s happening across Australia and around the world this Monday?
-
Coles has been inundated online by shoppers criticising it’s latest ‘Mother’s Day’ buy, saying it is x-rated.

-
It really does seem like scams are running rampant now more than ever, so we have put together a guide for 8 new scams that you need to watch out for.
-
And finally, we always seem to write recipes that are partner or family-friendly, but what about those of you who live alone? Here’s the healthiest and most affordable way to cook for one!
And that’s a wrap of the news for today, but not to worry we’ve still got plenty in store for you below, ladies and gents! Including a lovely ‘Yesterday’s Australia’ segment and a gorgeous picture of the day.
Oh and of course, we have today’s OzWord, our ‘Last Two Letters Game,’ AND our ‘who has the best joke’ competition for your chance to win a $100 voucher to Coles, Woolies, Aldi or IGA. Not a bad line up eh?
As always, stay safe and happy reading!
- Jonathan, Vella, Sean, James, Sethia & Maddie.

We stumbled upon this picture in ‘The Australia I Remember Facebook Group’ and just absolutely loved it. It’s a picture of a group of Fettlers pictured on the railway tracks near Parkes, NSW, enjoying a cuppa whilst taking a well earned smoko break. Gosh, when’s the last time you had a billy tea?

Macro Flower
This incredible photograph was posted on our forum by member @Tamaya. @Tamaya posted it, along with the caption: “Since I was teenager, I have always been fascinated by photography - especially landscapes and flowers. Whilst visiting a friend of mine, I came upon her garden full of bloom and took many pictures for hours on end. 😉 I hope you enjoy this one - not sure what "brand" of flower it is, but armed with a small water bottle spray, I made it look even prettier!!” We couldn’t agree with you more @Tamaya, thank you for sharing it
