Saturday Edition | AM

Good morning

Welcome to another Saturday, dearest members! We have another chance to smell the roses and indulge in our favourite hobbies today, which I (Sethia) hope includes grabbing a cuppa and diving into our newsletter! So, let’s crack yesterday’s riddle, shall we?

Five sisters are busy. Ann is reading, Rose is cooking, Lucy is playing chess, and Mary is doing laundry. What is the fifth sister doing?

The answer is… She's playing chess with Lucy! If you got it correct, expect a shout-out below. Now, today’s phrase for the ‘What Would the Grandkids Say?’ segment is 'the math is not mathing'. This is used when something doesn’t make sense.

Move over, Oreos! In simpler times, Aussies snacked on the humble bread and milk. Some mums would even add a splash of vanilla extract to the warm milk, while others opted for condensed milk for that extra kick of sweetness. Did you use to indulge in this treat?
