George Penney<p><a href="https://sunny.garden/tags/Spotted" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Spotted</span></a> on Market Day in Aotearoa <a href="https://sunny.garden/tags/newzealand" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>newzealand</span></a> </p><p>Two young humans (7?) are peering at the plants at a carnivorous plant stall. One looks at the other speculatively and says: "Do you think they eat people?" The other says confidently: "Probably not, like. Well... Maybe your finger if you let it."</p><p>At an outdoor Zumba class. A woman (50s?) in a gold sequinned jacket, reef sandals and a long black skirt has joined in. She's up the front of the class. She knows all the moves. hands in the air, hips swinging. This is her jam!</p><p>At a vegan food truck a man (40s?) is looking at the menu while talking to his teen who's decided she wants a burger. Getting his wallet out, ready to pay he says in a 'Dad trying to be supportive' way: "So what's in these vegan patties, d'ya think? Is it just not meat?"</p><p>A couple (40s?) have stepped out of a crowded market thoroughfare and one is carefully helping the other remove an eyelash from her eye. He saves the day and gets a quick smooch in return before they go back to browsing, arms wrapped cosily around each other's waists.</p><p>An elderly border collie is being ferried through the market on a bike trailer. He's holding court and returns pats from old and new friends with licks on the backs of their hands. A benevolent prince greeting his adoring subjects. </p><p>Any typos spotted in this post are definitely the type of typo that will eat fingers if given a chance. If spotted, please give them a pat on the top of their head before they go on their way.</p>

John Arnold<p>_The Evening Post_, 14 March 1925:<br> The Wireless World<br>… <br> A TIMARU EXPERIENCE<br> During a holiday in the South, "Grid-Bias" called on a <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/Timaru" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Timaru</span></a> amateur, who demonstrated the character of reception in that town.…Static put on one of its finest performances…. In spite of the din, the party listened to 1YA, 2YK, 2YM, KGO, 2BL, and 2FC…. The strength of KGO, second only to that of 2YK, was remarkable. A curious feature of the performance was that 2BL, Sydney, was as strong as 2FC, and at times stronger. The apparatus used [technical details follow].… The owner states that in the winter he regularly receives 2YK and 4YA on a short indoor aerial. This is a ridiculous appendage to the set—about four yards of copper strip suspended across the room. The Timaru amateur takes his hobby seriously. Besides using his apparatus consistently for entertainment, he is systematically recording the weather and radio reception conditions, particularly the nature and intensity of static.… The nature of the static observed on a given date and the weather which follows may suggest similar weather after a similar outburst of atmospherics; and… may be found very useful in the work of weather experts.<br><a href="https://paperspast.natlib.govt.nz/newspapers/EP19250314.2.146.3" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">paperspast.natlib.govt.nz/news</span><span class="invisible">papers/EP19250314.2.146.3</span></a></p><p><a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/OnThisDay" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>OnThisDay</span></a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/OTD" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>OTD</span></a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/PapersPast" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>PapersPast</span></a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/Radio" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Radio</span></a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/AmateurRadio" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>AmateurRadio</span></a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/WeatherForecasting" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>WeatherForecasting</span></a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/NewZealand" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>NewZealand</span></a></p>

Mr. Harrison, general secretary of the New Zealand R.S.A., said that “Poppy Day” was first inaugurated with the idea of making returned soldier organisations practically self-supporting. If the flowers could be manufactured in New Zealand, it would mean that from fourteen to twenty disabled men could be permanently employed. The contract with the French people for the supply of the poppies expired after the next "Poppy Day"… Until two years ago the British Legion obtained its poppies from France, but since then had made its own by the employment of disabled men.… Australia, until last year, got its flowers from France, but since then had made its own.<br> The proposal was carried unanimously, and will be forwarded as a remit to the Wellington Metropolitan Returned Soldiers’ Association’s Conference at Palmerston North.<br><a href="https://paperspast.natlib.govt.nz/newspapers/EP19250313.2.143" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">paperspast.natlib.govt.nz/news</span><span class="invisible">papers/EP19250313.2.143</span></a></p><p><a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/OnThisDay" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>OnThisDay</span></a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/OTD" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>OTD</span></a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/PapersPast" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>PapersPast</span></a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/ReturnedSoldiers" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ReturnedSoldiers</span></a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/RSA" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>RSA</span></a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/Fundraising" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Fundraising</span></a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/NewZealand" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>NewZealand</span></a></p>
