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

Wednesday Edition | AM

Good morning

Welcome to another wonderful Wednesday, members! How’s everyone doing today? Are you keeping warm and taking care of yourselves? I (Vella) believe this season is the perfect excuse to indulge in a hot cuppa while solving a Crossword. Now, let's get this day started with this week’s specials from Coles, Woolies, ALDI, and IGA. Next, your second riddle of the week:

I'm not a blanket, yet I cover the ground, a crystal from heaven that doesn't make a sound. What am I?

Submit your answers in our Riddle Masters thread here. If you get it correct, you’ll get a shout-out tomorrow.
