Monday Edition
Good morning, members! And a happy Monday to you all. We hope you had a lovely weekend and are ready to tackle the week ahead, we know we sure are. But you know what gets us in the mood to tackle the week head first? Cracking the first riddle of the week.
Today’s riddle is thanks to the wonderful member Dennis R. It’s a tricky one… Or is it?
What has only two words but thousands of letters?
Have a good think about this one, folks. But don’t think too hard. 😉 If you think you know the answer to the riddle, post it on the forum here. If you get the answer correct, you’ll earn yourself a shout-out in tomorrow morning’s newsletter. Good luck and happy riddle-ing!
Now, what’s happening across Australia and around the world today?

And that’s a wrap of your Monday morning news! But certainly not the wrap of this newsletter. Oh no, we have plenty more for you in store below including a trivia question for any James Bond fans and a hilarious grand(dad) joke of the day thanks to member @Skipton. This one really had me laughing!

Today’s ‘Yesterday’s Australia’ segment is brought to you by the lovely @Valentine. ‘So many fond memories of growing up in our neighbourhood in the 60s. My parents' house was the first in the street, so dad could choose how big a block he wanted. He went for the standard quarter acre. As our house was built on an old cow paddock and many times a cow would break down the barbed wire fence, with me calling out to dad “the cows broken the fence”.’
Oh, this memory had me laughing! What a wonderful childhood it sounds like you had, @Valentine. I cannot imagine walking into my backyard and seeing a cow having broken through the fence, it must have been a funny experience! Thank you so much for sharing this with us all.
