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

Saturday Edition | AM

Good morning

Good morning, dear members! Ah, the fine feeling of Saturday has washed over us once more, inviting us to sip slowly from the cup of relaxation. Are you ready to capture every moment of the weekend? I (Blue) have been listening to ‘You Should Know By Now’ by Angela Bofill on repeat while doing chores. How about you? Which song do you enjoy listening to on repeat? Share your recommendations here! Now, let's get down to business! First, here’s the answer to yesterday's riddle:

You have a barrel full of water. What do you add to the barrel in order to make it lighter?

The answer is… a hole! Kudos to those who got it correct—a shout-out is waiting for you below! Next, it's time for our 'What Would the Grandkids Say?' segment. Today, we're exploring the term ‘clout’. In youth-speak, ‘clout’ is all about influence or power, especially on social media. Next time your grandkids mention someone has ‘clout’, you'll know they're talking about that person’s sway in the online world!
