Wednesday Edition
Good morning members, and happy hump day! Any big plans for today? Maybe cooking something delicious tonight or going shopping for some deals? Either way, we’ve got just the thing for you today. So sit back and relax as we get right into it in 3…2…1.
Starting off today, we have our Coles, Woolies, Aldi and IGA deals for the week. There are some absolute steals, so be sure to check them out!
Next, we have our midweek riddle courtesy of member @Rest1953. So get those thinking caps on, folks.
I am in a house that is perfectly square. There is a single window on each of its four walls. Each window faces south. As I gaze out of a window, a bear walks past. What colour is the bear?
Hmm… we have absolutely no idea! How about you? If you think you know the answer to this one, post it on our forum here, and if you get it correct, we’ll give you a well-deserved shout out in tomorrow’s newsletter. Sounds good, eh?

Remember when you and your friends spent all your time on some dubious-looking playground equipment like the Witch’s Hat ride? Who used to stand on this ride and push down hard with their legs, causing the ride to crash into the large steel centre pole? You had to hold on tight because if you didn't, you'd fall. Oh, the good old days, there’s no way they would allow ride’s like these, nowadays!

Today’s picture is thanks to member @kramx. It’s a photo of the Captain Cook Memorial Fountain, the centrepiece of the Newcastle Civic Park located in New South Wales. This fountain was built for the bicentenary of Cook’s voyage and mapping of the east coast of Australia. What a stunning shot! Thanks for sharing this with us @kramx!

When I got fired, you were there to support me.

Our Sun is a medium-sized star with a radius of 700,000 kilometres. Many stars are much larger – but the Sun is far more massive than our home planet: it would take more than 330,000 Earths to match the mass of the Sun, and it would take 1.3 million Earths to fill the Sun’s volume.
