We're going away for a few days to visit family and I'm done before I'm at the train station... My partner now, about 20 mins before we leave, remembers to pack toiletries and was surprised that mine are already packed and safely in my suitcase since last night. No, he isn't dressed yet either...

🧵Spotted While Roaming in Aotearoa New Zealand: Two women (80s?) are basking in a sunbeam in front of a cafe. Paperback books on their table. A pot of tea between them. One says: "Do you do the Facebook? The other wrinkles her nose and shrugs: "No. It's not my lifestyle. I like real books." (1)

🧵Spotted While Roaming in Aotearoa New Zealand: A small human (4?) belts into a library, her dinosaur school bag clutched to her chest. She reaches a librarian and breathlessly announces: "Hey. Uhm. Yeah. Uhm. Did I tell you? WE HAVE A NEW KITTEN!" Librarian looks VERY impressed. (1)

🧵Spotted While Roaming in Aotearoa New Zealand: A small human (5?) is standing in line at a checkout with his mum. He says: "I'm grumpy Mum." Mum puts an arm around his shoulders. "Would a banana help?" He nods, scowling: "Yeah. I might need two. I'm REALLY grumpy."(1)

Random 1am question: anyone know a source for bulk water beads (to make cooling scarves) (that still exists) (that isn’t amazon)? The spots we bought them in bulk 3-4 years ago are gone now and I’ve spent MANY HOURS digging around and am finally planning on giving up and testing ones from amazon 😭😭😭

🧵Spotted While Roaming in Aotearoa New Zealand: A couple (70s?) walk into a steampunk cafe and are delighted by all the ephemera on the walls. One says to the other: "Could you imagine wearing this?!" The other says: "Yeah. I could actually, it'd be fun. I'd be a steampunk man." He grins. (1)

What’s a real thing from your childhood that kids these days would find completely foreign? Like, how we used to be able to walk right up to the gate to meet our family coming off a flight. Or how we had to pick a spot to meet at the theater BEFORE we went.

Thank you so much @kaddele.bsky.social for my wonderful bracelets and charms. They made me smile today and I immediately after taking pic put the "Not bloody optimal" one on because it matches my outfit.

A speedy little clipper ship from the rust belt. 🐱

Spotted While Roaming in Aotearoa New Zealand: Multiple families arrive at a dinosaur movie screening in a pretty art deco cinema. Almost all of them are wearing pajamas. All packing in together. Munching popcorn. Laughing raucously when the dinosaurs eat people. This is big goofy, cosy fun. (1)
