Me: I may try baking a wee thing this morning
Elliot: awww thank you
A baking sheet with small strips of puff pastry covered with raisins and apples One strip has been rolled out into a round ish shape, the apples are poking out. An orange wee knife on one side Two roundish pastries, apples slices poking out, waiting to be baked. Elliot the black greyhound scoffing apples slices from the floor. No pastries in sight. Old patterned Axminster carpet in the background. A stool on the side. Sad left over apples on the carpet. White woman bare feet on the carpet. The rest of the disappointed human who got distracted and will no longer have any pastries is out of sight. But you can feel her disappointment.

Numbers who give me hope and bring joy today ❤️
Screenshot of the Tāmaki Makaurau - Preliminary Count from the electoral commission website. A list of candidates and how many people voted for them. Three are highlighted: Oriini Kaimana, 6031, Hanna Tamaki, 146 and last in a list of 5 candidates, with an embarrassing low number of votes, Kelvyn Alp, 23 votes

A small apricot tree in a large planter. It’s old and a bit withered. A few new branches have emerged from the base of the tree. Same tree but the new branches are marked in blue marker

Catching up with work online learning over coffee. Trying not to pay attention to the Tik Tok corporate HR lady’s commentary as I go through the modules.
A screenshot from a HR manifesto Tik Tok with the ‘not a question just a comment’ lady, her eyes open as wide as it’s humanly possible, hey eyelashes fluttering in corporate sarcasm. The words say: things you wish you could say to your coworkers.
