(TXT to Mikaere) Jules : so sailing? It looks like it might actually be sunny this weekend

(TXT to Jules) Mikaere : Let me check my schedule.

(TXT to Jules) Mikaere : Wait, no, yes of course I can. 😃

(TXT to Jules) Mikaere : (That was a joke. Bad joke. Sorry.)

(TXT to Mikaere) Jules : Your busy busy schedule

(TXT to Mikaere) Jules : So not yet swarmed by tourists?

(TXT to Jules) Mikaere : Nothing I can't handle.

(TXT to Mikaere) Jules : Actually weekends are probably going to start being the busiest times soon huh

(TXT to Jules) Mikaere : The tips still weird me out, but I'm surviving.

(TXT to Jules) Mikaere : Yeah, probably.

(TXT to Mikaere) Jules : Is that not a thing in NZ?

(TXT to Jules) Mikaere : It's really, really not.

(TXT to Jules) Mikaere : We just - wait for it, it's a novel thought - pay people for the hours they work.

(TXT to Mikaere) Jules : AMAZING

(TXT to Jules) Mikaere : I know, right?!

(TXT to Mikaere) Jules : It sounds so civilized!

(TXT to Jules) Mikaere : Wait for it: we have universal healthcare too.

(TXT to Mikaere) Jules : You socialists

(TXT to Jules) Mikaere : I know, it's the worst. We're the worst.

(TXT to Jules) Mikaere : So, um.

(TXT to Mikaere) Jules : There is nothing more American than sneaking to Canada for cheap medicine

(TXT to Jules) Mikaere : Oh, is that the way you do it? Smart!

(TXT to Mikaere) Jules : 💯 yes. So what’s up?

(TXT to Jules) Mikaere : Remind me to do that next time I get beat up and need to go to hospital.

(TXT to Jules) Mikaere : Right. Yes. I've been enlightened about this whole masked ball thing at the casino?

(TXT to Mikaere) Jules : Ugh yeah hospital bills are bad news here

(TXT to Jules) Mikaere : Thank fuck for travel insurance, as long as that lasts.

(TXT to Mikaere) Jules : Heaven forbid you need an ambulance

(TXT to Jules) Mikaere : I'm still in bill shock, holy fucking shit.

(TXT to Mikaere) Jules : I’ve heard about it yes

(TXT to Jules) Mikaere : Um, right, yes. Focusing. So.

(TXT to Jules) Mikaere : I was supposed to come up with a good line for this and... clearly I haven't.

(TXT to Jules) Mikaere : Do you want to go?

(TXT to Jules) Mikaere : And if you'd rather go with your friends, that's fine too!

(TXT to Jules) Mikaere : Just... putting it out there.

(TXT to Mikaere) Jules : Sure! I don’t actually know who’s planning to go and who isn’t, just heard it come up in conversation

(TXT to Mikaere) Jules : You know, I’ve never actually gone to a fancy dress party thing

(TXT to Jules) Mikaere : No? Ok, so clearly this needs to happen then. I know Ravn and Ariadne are going.

(TXT to Mikaere) Jules : Yeah instead of going to prom I drank beer on the beach with older guys because I make good life decisions

(TXT to Jules) Mikaere : Well we'll make up for that, then. Good decisions.

(TXT to Jules) Mikaere : I'm told I clean up ok. 🙂:):)

(TXT to Mikaere) Jules : I mean beer on the beach is also perfectly a-ok

(TXT to Mikaere) Jules : But it sounds fun!

(TXT to Jules) Mikaere : Beer is always ok. But sometimes we shake it up a bit.

(TXT to Jules) Mikaere : And then remember why we stick to beer on the beach.

(TXT to Jules) Mikaere : Because high heels and penguin suits are super uncomfortable.

(TXT to Mikaere) Jules : I bet you do. It’s probably a politician requirement

(TXT to Jules) Mikaere : It helps, I'm told.

(TXT to Mikaere) Jules : I may or may not know how to walk in high heels for the record

(TXT to Mikaere) Jules : TBD

(TXT to Jules) Mikaere : I'll hold you up, if you trip.

(TXT to Mikaere) Jules : I can’t just wear hiking boots?

(TXT to Mikaere) Jules : That works too

(TXT to Jules) Mikaere : I mean, it's a costume party. You could!

(TXT to Mikaere) Jules : I’ll figure something out!

(TXT to Jules) Mikaere : Something about 'secret selves'. Is your secret self a hiker?

(TXT to Mikaere) Jules : Well it’s not that secret, so probably not

(TXT to Jules) Mikaere : Point.

(TXT to Jules) Mikaere : I am secretly a super spy, obviously, and that's why I will have a black suit and whatever.

(TXT to Mikaere) Jules : OBVIOUSLY. Why else would you be here?! NZ CIA. Or Maori underground freedom fighter.

(TXT to Jules) Mikaere : OOH. I like that.

(TXT to Mikaere) Jules : I’m full of good ideas!

(TXT to Jules) Mikaere : You are. Sailing and the rest.

(TXT to Mikaere) Jules : Ok cool. So see you this weekend? Unless weather is good on Friday in which case maybe Friday

(TXT to Jules) Mikaere : Perfect. Keep an eye on the forecast and we'll decide. Looking forward to it.
