We didn't put our teeth under the pillow - they went into a cup beside the bed.
Unless they got lost. 1 of my teeth is under a new house extension (I dropped it showing the builder) & another in the playground at school. We joked about the Foundation Fairy and Playground Fairy getting those teeth.

I'm getting them in a couple of weeks. I don't usually feel too bad, but the sore arms are real!

Not yet in NZ. We change in a week, I think. I'm looking forward to more light in the morning for a few more weeks (until winter truly sets in, it's very much a warm autumn at the moment).

I had a black-headed jumping spider friend hang out with me for a little while I dismantled the corner of the garden bed he'd clearly been living in. Normally these things scuttle away quickly, but this guy sat and pondered things long enough for a decent photo and app identification to take place.

There are many many people here in Aotearoa/NZ who are against our current government's regressive policies. There was a MASSIVE protest hikoi (march) a few months ago against a move to change the way Te Tiriti o Waitangi is interpreted in the courts. This government is really unpopular right now.

I definitely watched Jem and the Misfits. I have distinct memories of playing 'Jem' with my best friend at primary school, mostly consisting of 'making make-up' i.e. rubbing pieces of bark from the playground together to make a groove.

It was cassette, but I have it on CD now. I have their first 2 albums. I had the third bit found it a bit weird.

Yes. Its the most FB-like fediverse media thing I've been able to find. Nothing stopping someone like yourself setting up your own node, too.

And here in NZ, I grew up saving the wishbone wherever we had a roast chicken. We'd let it dry, and we'd break it by holding it with our little/pinky finger.
