Monday Edition

Happy Monday, members! It sure is chilly, or is it just the first Monday of Septem-brrr? Sorry, I couldn’t help myself. Anyway, winter’s days are over, and I (Jarred) am looking forward to warmer days! That aside, let’s kick things off with a tricky puzzle:

The marathon man timed himself and found out that if he wore a bright white outfit, he ran 20 km in 80 minutes, but when he wore a dark outfit, he ran 20 km in one hour and twenty minutes. Should he wear a different colour for his next race?

If you’ve figured out the answer to this riddle, leave your answer in the comments here. Get it correct, and you’ll be included in tomorrow’s newsletter shout-out. Good luck!

Yesterday’s Australia

An apple a day

Image Source: Facebook/Australia Remember When

Our feature today, from member @Carsrme, perfectly captures the spirit and essence of nostalgia. ‘I was eating a peeled apple recently,’ they began. ‘I recalled when I was around six years old, Mum and Dad (both in heaven), would have an apple a day. Nothing strange there, but they used to have a competition between each other for the longest unbroken peel.’ Now isn’t that such a sweet memory of simple joys in life? Do you have a similar memory? Tell us here! Thank you, member @Carsrme. If you also have similar photos and touching memories, our Nostalgia/Yesterday's Australia forum is always open.

Hospital & Extras policies start at just $3.20 per day with no lock in contracts*.

It’s no secret that the current cost of living is hurting us all, and we need to find ways to ‘cut the fat’ wherever we can. But did you know that in 2023, the cost of health insurance increased by an average of $167* for Aussies over 65 who weren't with one of the 'big 5 funds'? For those older Aussies who were with one of the 'big 5 funds', their health insurance increased by $194*.

What you may not realise is that there are government rebates out there that could save you hundreds of dollars per year on your cover. For eligible Aussies, the starting cost of a combined hospital and extras cover comes in at $22.54* a week, or $3.20* per day once the rebate has been claimed.

Harlequin Bug

For once, flowers aren’t the star of the show. Would you look at that marvellous little bug? Member @Penny4 says it’s a Harlequin bug! I can’t help but fixate on how the blue detailing of its carapace seems so hypnotically iridescent. It also helps that the photo is so clear! Thank you, member @Penny4!
