 enjoyable hat though is really looking forward to his food which is pretty sure just walked past him. once again he has to wave the waiter down for his food. with the toasty nicely sitting in his belly and chewing on a melted marshmallow he enjoys the bustle allowing him to have a decent conversation. the late afternoon lul of customers meaning there is no one really to disturb. particularly on a Monday. though the club house music is a bit out of place. 2.15 clocks by and the group pick up and head of to class in a bubble of talk.

Sam is a 1st year student in her 2nd week at university.She is stressed and frazzled with the change from her small high school in Westport. Overwhelmed with the work she has been assigned Sam decides to get a coffee and before her morning class to try calm her nerves.She approaches the long line and awkwardly stands out of anyones way avoiding the oldies. She can't see the board so she makes her rushed choice at the register. She looks around hoping she may see someone from class but has no luck so sits awkwardly at an empty table infrount of the bar to wait. Her drink is called and she struggles through the passerby's, happy to finally be able to leave with her flat white. Which is cold. leaving her no less stressed.

Its started raining again and Karyn just wants somewhere to sit with the girls so they can have a chat and eat there pre-packed lunches. they duck into tussock just as it starts to pour and luckily snag a table in the corner near the window which beside having a few crumbs and one of the brown paper bags on it is clean enough. Karyn a bit upset she was really keen on sitting on the couches last time she found the seat so hard. but those dam teenagers are always occupying the space. the girls get their lunches out and Karyn pulls out her club sandwiches proudly, she made them for her dinner party last night and had left overs. they girls chatter and do a bit of people watching as they wait for there food to settle and the rain to calm before heading of to class or home in Karyns case.

Alex has forgotten lunch again so decides to grab a bite to eat while revising before the lecture on diaphragms in an hour. Not having enough time to make it to the cafe down the road, that does a great deal on eggs heads to Tussock only to be greeted by a long line. Alex then has a group of students push in front resulting in a grumble of displeasure. Being on a budget and seeing they have a meal of the day the decision is easy, and Alex loves lasagna. But there is only two left and by the time Alex is at the front they are all gone, instead Alex orders a burger remembering the winning $10 scratchy from earlier. Retreating to one of the free chairs Alex pulls out their books for a quick study session while the burger is prepared. Alex settles in easily and comfortably even if that background choice of music is a bit off at least its quiet enough to ignore today. After some study and the  burger happy dissolving in Alex's pear-shaped enlargement of the alimentary canal linking the esophagus and the small intestine (stomach) . Alex heads to class content, ready to learn and catch up with all the other nurses. 


Croissant:  the external old couple come in for a bite.

Colin and Shirley have just arrived at tussock cafe, having passed through here before they knew not to come after 12 so have come for a early lunch after exploring the lovely exhibition in the old museum. Colin who swears he hates chocolate orders a coffee and a chocolate topped caramel slice, Shirley gets chips for them to share and a hot chocolate. the couple easily find a seat before the midday rush and settle themselves in by the window and watch the students pass by. Shirley loves the self serve water with actual glasses, none of those plastic cups that are used once and thrown way. As the students and lectures start to fill the space the couple enjoy the sudden increase in energy the cafe takes on, the couple wait for it to settle before winding there way out from the maze of bags and people to the next place on the to do list today.
