Wednesday Edition
Hey there, lovely members! Happy Wednesday to you all! How is everyone feeling this morning? I (Vella) hope you’re all having a great morning and are feeling refreshed and ready to tackle the day. Me? I’m having the time of my life! As you read this newsletter, picture me soaking up the sun and taking a leisurely walk on a stunning white sandy beach in an exotic location. That's right, I'm on a well-deserved holiday with my partner, celebrating our fifth anniversary.
Speaking of fun, let's play a little game. We’ll call it ‘Where in the world is Vella?’ I've attached a picture of my current location to our game thread here, and your task is to guess which country I am in. I’ll give you one clue: It’s in Asia! There are loads of
beautiful beaches in Asia, so this game is a bit challenging, but I'm sure you've got what it takes to figure it out... Okay, fine, let me give you another clue about the place. This place is more than just your typical tropical paradise. Sure, it has all the classic elements like stunning beaches and crystal-clear waters, but it's also home to a diverse landscape that includes lush jungles, steep limestone cliffs, and gorgeous inlets. The place I'm in is also known for its mouth-watering delicacy called Nido soup, made of edible bird’s nests. So, have you figured out where I am yet? Keep those guesses coming in!
Now, I don’t want to make you all jealous. 😉 So, as you guess where I am, why not share your own travel photos in the thread? It'll be like a mini-virtual trip around the world! Plus, we could all use a little escapism right now. I can't wait to read your guesses and see your stunning travel snaps!
Anyhow, that's enough from me. Let's move on to today’s activities. First off, we’ve got your weekly deals from Coles, Woolworths, ALDI, and IGA. There are some great bargains in store this week, so don't miss out!
And, of course, we’ve also got our second riddle of the week for you. Here’s an interesting one to get those brain juices flowing:
You can see me in water, but I never get wet. What am I?
Oooh, this one's a doozy! Think you can solve it? Head on over to our riddle masters thread here to give it a try. Anyone who gets the answer correct will be rewarded with a shout-out in tomorrow’s newsletter!

Before I let you get to it, I'd also like to give a heads-up: Health Insurers are increasing their premiums by an average of 2.90% on April 1*. So, we just wanted to remind you all to compare your health insurance*. If you are over the age of 65 and you’re not with one of the ‘Big Five’ health insurers, your premium could be increasing by an average of $167* per year, and for those of you who are with one of the ‘Big Five’ your premiums could be increasing by a shocking $194* per year. But the good news is, you don’t need to pay hundreds more for your health cover. Over the past 4 years, our partners at Compare Club have saved their customers who are over the age of 50 an average of $259.50 on their health insurance*. So compare and save today!
And while you’re here, why not try our wonderful games, including our Alphabetical Bands/Groups Game, Alphabetical Australian Places Game, Change A Letter Game, and 3x3 Word Thread? Of course, we still have our beloved classic games, including Word Pairs, Abbreviation Game, Word
Association Game, Rearrange, Add or Subtract Word Game! Keep a Word, Drop a Word Game, and Can you name 5? As well as our Sudoku puzzles, OzGrid, classic OzWord, and Ozword (expert edition). And our card games, including Solitaire and Blackjack.
Lastly, don't forget to enter our referral competition! All you have to do is refer your friends to the SDC (with their permission, of course) for one entry into the competition. The more entries you get into the competition, the more chances you have to win a $100 voucher to Coles, Woolworths, ALDI or IGA!
