Monday Edition
Good Morning Members! Happy Monday Morning! We hope you all had a great weekend and are ready to jump into the week ahead. We know that Mondays can be a bit of a chore, so we like to start our week off with a little bit of fun in the form of a challenging riddle! So, here’s your first riddle of the week…

This one’s for all those farmers out there! Who here remembers getting their first tractor? Back in those days, there was no GumTree, eBay, or Facebook Marketplace. You had come across an ad in the newspaper or heard via word of mouth about the latest farming gear. The transition to using tractors was huge for most farmers, a game changing investment that no one could ‘Google’ about, you just had to have a mate, who had a mate, who knew what to do with them and how to get one!

Young bird fascinated by my dove
Hahaha! The whole SDC team had a good laugh at this photo. A big thank you to member @Rosie for sharing this with us all! The bird is clearly very fascinated by what’s going on, must be a little confusing for the little fella to see how still the dove is being 😉
