Wednesday Edition
Good morning and happy hump day, members! It’s Wednesday and you know what that means? Other than treating yourself to your favourite dish for dinner or indulging in some retail therapy because you deserve it? It means getting your hands on this week’s supermarket deals!
We have found some juicy deals this week for you over at Coles, Woolies, Aldi and IGA, so head on over to the links and check them out. You might just manage to find some products you absolutely love on sale!
Now, we also have a head-scratcher of a midweek riddle ready for all of you, so don your thinking caps, here it goes:
You live in a one-story house made entirely of redwood. What colour would the stairs be?
Oooh, this is an interesting one, but we’re sure you’ll have no problems solving it. If you think you know the answer, post it on our forum here, and if you get it right, we’ll give you a well-deserved shout-out in tomorrow’s newsletter.
So what’s happening in Australia and across the world today?

Ah yes, ballroom dancing. It was a popular pastime back in the day. Many people met their potential eligible partners at regular ballroom dancing events held at local town halls, institutes, and public venues. Who remembers doing the Waltz, Foxtrot, Military Two-Step, Tango, and Rumba?

Ortega Home Travel Ironing Board $16.99 @ Catch*
Let’s face it, ironing is one of those chores we all hate, but have to do. To make things worse, ironing gets a lot more challenging as we age, especially getting out the heavy ironing board and setting it all up. That’s why Catch has released a “travel” ironing board! This little ironing board is nice and compact, foldable and portable - meaning you can pop it in any little cupboard (forget that tall, difficult one!) and you can iron anywhere from a bench to a table. It’s also large enough for ironing shirts, trousers or blouses perfectly and for only $16.99, it’s a bargain too!

Blood moon
Today’s picture is thanks to our very own @Algieboy. He posted this photo in our photography forum along with the caption, “Composite Blood Moon eclipse sequence… possum, was hardly seen on the wire and sat dead still for a 20 sec exposure shot no flash.”
My goodness! This is incredible, @Algieboy! Thank you for sharing this with us.

A bar had a sign in the window advertising that they needed a piano player.
A scungy-looking, old, retired Navy musician entered the bar and told the bartender he was interested in the job.
The bartender wasn't too impressed with his looks but said, "What the hell," and pointed the old sailor to the piano in the corner.
This is hilarious! Click here to read the rest of this joke by the one and only @Vinylted!
