Saturday Edition

G’day, members! Welcome to another wonderful Saturday! Have you got your fishing lines or golf clubs ready for this weekend? Or will you just be lounging indoors with a good book? Whatever plans you’ve got, the team and I (Vella) hope you saved a slot to chat with us. We wouldn’t miss it for the world! Talking about our Saturday routine, let’s reveal the answer to yesterday’s riddle:

A girl throws a ball as hard as she can. It comes back to her, even though nothing and nobody touches it. How?

It’s because she threw the ball straight up in the air! We also accepted those who answered that the ball was on a string! If you got the answer correct, there’s a shout-out waiting for you at the end of this newsletter! Next, our ‘What Would the Grandkids Say?’ segment. Today's term is ‘beat’. It is used by kids today not to strike someone but to describe how good someone’s makeup looks. So, the next time a grandchild makes an extra effort with their makeup, compliment them by saying, ‘Your face is beat!’ I guarantee it will make their day!

Yesterday’s Australia

School days

Who remembers these old desks with inkwells? The way the wooden desk was worn and weathered, bearing the marks of countless students who had sat there, brought a sense of charm to school days. Kids today will never understand the struggle of refilling those inkwells. What's your favourite memory from your school days? If you have memories to share, do so on the Nostalgia/Yesterday’s Australia forum!

Hospital & Extras policies start at just $3.20 per day with no lock in contracts*.

It’s no secret that the current cost of living is hurting us all, and we need to find ways to ‘cut the fat’ wherever we can. But did you know that in 2023, the cost of health insurance increased by an average of $167* for Aussies over 65 who weren't with one of the 'big 5 funds'? For those older Aussies who were with one of the 'big 5 funds', their health insurance increased by $194*.

What you may not realise is that there are government rebates out there that could save you hundreds of dollars per year on your cover. For eligible Aussies, the starting cost of a combined hospital and extras cover comes in at $22.54* a week, or $3.20* per day once the rebate has been claimed.

Rose

Look at this stunning photo shared by member @Miriam Romiti. She said, ‘I found my rose with dead petals, so I peeled them off for the potpourri jar and found the inside of the rose very interesting.’ I couldn’t agree more! It's amazing how nature can surprise us with its hidden beauty. Thanks, member @Miriam Romiti! If you have any photos up your sleeve, go ahead and share them on the Photography forum!
