Wednesday Edition
Good morning, members, and welcome to a beautiful Wednesday morning. What are we all having for breakfast today? Maybe some toast with Vegemite? Or how about a Hot Cross Bun? It's the most important meal of the day, so get that energy in! If you're stuck for ideas and are tired of eating the same breakfast every day, we've got some breakfast ideas for you. And if you have any delicious breakfast
recipes, please share them on our forum. We'd love to try them!
Okay, enough about food, let’s get into today's activities, shall we? We have a lot to get through today, starting off with our Coles, Woolworths, Aldi, and IGA deals. There are some great deals available, so head on over to the links and check them out.
Now, we also have a head-scratcher of a midweek riddle ready for all of you, so don your thinking caps, here it goes:
A man shaves several times a day, yet he still has a beard. Who is this man?
We have no idea what the answer is. How about you? If you think you know the answer, head over to our riddle masters thread and post it here. If you get the answer correct, we'll give you a well-deserved shout-out in tomorrow's newsletter.
So what’s happening in Australia and across the world today?

Who here remembers Allen’s coconut quivers? They used to come in a tall, unusual shaped boxes and were every kid’s favourite back in the day (that’s if they like coconut!) Nothing compares to these delicious lollies. Sadly, they don’t make these treats anymore.

Boab tree
Today’s picture is thanks to our very own @Steveh1955. This photo was taken while he was on a road trip not far from Broome in 2010. Woah, that’s one huge tree. Out of curiosity, we did a quick google search on boab trees and found some interesting facts. Did you know that it's one of the world's longest-living, strangest-looking trees? Carbon dating indicates that they could live to be 3,000 years old. They can grow nearly 100 feet tall, with trunks up to 30 feet in diameter! It grows in low-lying areas of Africa, Madagascar, and Australia. How interesting is that?

An elderly lady was standing at the railing of the cruise ship, holding her hat tight so that it would not blow away in the wind.
A gentleman approached her and said, “Pardon me, madam... I do not intend to be forward, but did you know that your dress is blowing up in this high wind?”
Hahaha, this is gold! A big thanks to member Wendy for sharing this with us! Check out the rest of this hilarious joke here.

Apollo 11 was the American spaceflight that first landed humans on the moon. On July 20, 1969, humans walked on another world for the first time in history, achieving President John F. Kennedy's goal in 1961, before Americans had even orbited the Earth. After a landing that included dodging a lunar crater and boulder field just before touchdown, Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin explored the area around their lunar landing site for more than two hours.
