A woman (50s) is standing before an easter egg display in a supermarket. She's frowning and murmurs to a passing man (late teens?). "What d'you think. Is it too early?" He grins and blithely says: "Nah. Never too early for easter eggs!" She nods. These are sound words of wisdom. (3) - ThreadSky

In the supermarket today there was a pile of packs of alliterative hot cross buns. I said to the cashier “Easter next week, is it?” “Yeah” she grinned, “and probably Christmas the week after“.

😆 And then Easter again the week after?

That’s right. Here, chocolate Easter eggs are never off the shelves, and you can usually find a hot cross bun somewhere in a supermarket. Mind you, a good, fresh HCB with really cold butter spread thickly from the fridge…

Is a thing of beauty😁

And texture! Meanwhile in the supermarket today we found Cadbury’s Creme Egg IN A RECTANGULAR BAR!

Surely to Slartibartfast an egg has to be egg-shaped?

A woman (60s?) leaves a hardware store with a trolley full of plants and potting mix. As she looks around her at a full car park with a frown, a nearby store greeter calls out: "Lost your car, love?"

She laughs and replies: "Yeah. But I'll be fine. It's too old to run away!" (4)

At a rack in front of an op shop (thrift store) a woman (20s?) makes a happy sound on spotting a red slip dress. She pulls it off the rack and holds it up for her friend to admire. They both agree it's perfect and she hurries inside to try it on. (5)

Any typos spotted in this post are currently searching for where they parked their keyboard. They were sure it was next to the giant pile of books that never get read. Or maybe it was on the coffee table? Either way, they will find it and then maybe make themselves an epic sandwich to celebrate.

That sounds nice. Enjoyed an epic sandwich in Napier about five years ago, but it was the bay, and the architecture that warmed my heart.

Such a great place. Sounds like an awesome moment😊

I don't own a car, but if I did, I'd never remember where I parked it. I adore her reply. 😂
