Good morning, dear members of the Seniors Discount Club! It's Tuesday, and I (Jarred) hope this newsletter finds you brimming with joy and excitement for a brand-new day. First and foremost, we want to express our heartfelt gratitude to you for being part of our vibrant community. Your presence brings irreplaceable warmth, wisdom, and contagious enthusiasm that continues to inspire us. Now, let's dive right into today's newsletter, and you know what’s up first today… The answer to yesterday’s riddle! But what was the riddle again?
We are little creatures; all of us have different features. One of us in glass is set; one of us you'll find in a jet. Another you may see in tin, and the fourth is boxed within. If the fifth you should pursue, it can never fly from you. What are we?
The answer is none other than vowels! If you noticed, the words ‘glass’, ‘jet’, ‘tin’,’boxed’, and ‘you’
contain the vowels a, e, i, o, and u. Pretty clever, eh? Well done to those who answered correctly! For those that missed the mark — don’t worry! There’s always the next riddle to solve.😉 As usual, those who cracked this one will find their shout-outs below!
Now, let's find out today's thrilling events happening all around the world and across Australia!

Cockatoos are one of those animals we tend to take for granted since they’re one of those birds you see flying around fairly often. But for some of us, they take up special places in our hearts! Take this one, for example, named Percy Buttons, whose picture was taken sometime in 1958. According to the State Library of Western Australia, the photographer had cheeky little Percy as a pet. The bird was also very fond of a certain item, which you can see him nibbling at. Let’s play a game, members: what do you think it is? Tell us in the forum
here! And if you have other memories you’d like to share with us too, post them on our Nostalgia/Yesterday’s Australia forum!
