Rise and shine, members! It’s finally Friday! Can you believe how quickly this week has gone by? We’ve been keeping busy here at the SDC headquarters, gathering all the best content just for you. How has your week been, folks? I hope it’s been fantastic, and if not, don’t worry because the weekend is almost here! What plans have you got lined up? As for me (Vella), I’m just looking forward to spending some quality time with my partner. You see, the way I show my love for someone is by spending some quality time with them. I just love being in my loved ones' presence.
Speaking of showing love, I have another fun question for you. What’s your love language or how do you show your love for someone? Have you ever had a partner with a different love language, and how did you make it work? Share your experiences with us in our forum here, and let's discuss love and relationships!
Alrighty, then, let’s jump into today’s newsletter. As you know, Fridays mean riddles and this week’s final riddle is quite the thinker!
John has 10 siblings: 4 boys and 6 girls. He has a mother and father. How many people are in the family?
Isn’t that a tricky one? Or is it? Put on your thinking caps and give it a go, folks! If you think you’ve got the answer, head over to the riddle masters thread here. If you get the answer correct, you’ll get a well-deserved shout-out in tomorrow’s newsletter!

Ah yes, the classic pepper and salt shaker stand that graced every kitchen table in Australia back in the day. It was the epitome of ‘cool’ in the 1960s and 70s, and I bet your mum got it at a Tupperware party. Want a little more salt on your potatoes? No problem. Need a dash of pepper to spice up your steak? Done and done. The shakers were easy to refill, and the stand kept them organised and within reach. It was a game-changer in the kitchen, and almost every Aussie household had one. Do you still have one of these? If you have
memories you’d like to share with us, post them here on our Nostalgia/Yesterday’s Australia forum!
