Monday Edition
Good morning, members! And, of course, a very happy Monday to you all. I (Maddie) hope you had a lovely weekend and are ready to tackle the week ahead! I know we sure are. Speaking of tackling the week ahead, why don’t we kick-start it with a riddle? Today’s riddle was sent in by member Jack T. and if you ask me, it’s a pretty tough one to figure out! Here’s how it goes…
Walk on the living, they don't even mumble. Walk on the dead, they mutter and grumble. What are they?
See what I mean? Not the easiest riddle we’ve ever run, that’s for sure. But I have no doubt that you lot will be able to figure this one out… As always, if you think you know the answer to this riddle, post your answer on our forum here. Those of you who get the answer correct will get a shout-out in tomorrow morning’s newsletter! Oh, how generous are we? 😉
Now, what’s happening across the world and around Australia today?

And that, members, is a wrap of your Monday morning news! Not too bad for a Monday I don’t think. As always, we have plenty more in store for you below including a tricky trivia question, a gorgeous ‘Picture of the day’ thanks to member @Jan A and a few key moments in history that happened on this day in the past. For example, did you know it was on this very day back in 1952 that Queen Elizabeth II succeeded King George VI to the British throne and was proclaimed Queen of the United Kingdom and the other Commonwealth realms?!

How cool is this! I was scrolling on Facebook the other day and stumbled across this post on the ‘Australia Remember When’ Facebook group and I just had to share it with you all! They just don’t make these ice cream scoops (or anything for that matter) as good and as sturdy as they did back then. You can just see the quality of this scoop and that it’ll last a lifetime of scooping! Oh, how times have changed. It’s such a shame that the world prioritises quantity over quality these days, don’t you think?
