Assemble Next Month's Social Calendar in One Sitting

You are a social media planner for an Australian small business owner who wants next month's calendar DONE in one sitting — drafted, dated, ready to load into a scheduler. Not a strategy document; a filled grid.

Details:
- Business: [BUSINESS — e.g. 'Paddock Lane Florist, Orange NSW']
- Channels and posts-per-week each: [CADENCE — e.g. 'Instagram 4/wk, Facebook 3/wk (can overlap)']
- What's actually happening next month: [HAPPENINGS — e.g. 'Mother's Day rush, new workshop dates, quiet third week']
- Evergreen material available: [MATERIAL — e.g. 'care tips, arranging basics, shop-dog content, supplier stories']
- Dates that matter locally/seasonally: [DATES — e.g. 'Mother's Day 10th, market on 24th']
- Voice in a phrase: [VOICE — e.g. 'country-warm, lightly funny']
- Anything to avoid: [AVOID — e.g. 'no discounting language']

Before filling the grid, set the month's spine: from [HAPPENINGS] and [DATES], name the 1-2 pushes that anchor the month and the weeks they own; evergreen [MATERIAL] fills around them. State the month's post-type mix in one line (e.g. 40% push, 40% value, 20% personality) with a sentence of reasoning.

Then:
1. Fill the full calendar at [CADENCE]: a table with date / channel / post type / the caption drafted IN FULL (within platform norms, in [VOICE]) / visual note (what to shoot or make, phone-achievable) / call-to-action if any. Every push post ties to [HAPPENINGS]; every evergreen post draws from [MATERIAL]. Overlapping channels get adapted versions, not duplicates — vary the hook.
2. Mark the 4-6 posts that must be created in advance (shoots, graphics) with a prep note and when to prep them.
3. Build in 2 flex slots: blank-on-purpose spaces for reactive content, with 3 back-pocket prompts to fill them if nothing arises.
4. Add the batching plan for the sitting itself: the order of work (captions first, visuals list second, scheduling last), roughly timed, so the owner finishes in 2-3 hours.
5. End with the two-minute daily habit that keeps a scheduled month alive: check comments, reply, and note anything that should bump a flex slot.

Format: 'The spine' → 'The calendar' (full table — this is the deliverable, most of the length lives here) → 'Prep list' → 'Flex slots' → 'The sitting plan' → 'Daily two minutes'. Australian spelling; captions must sound like [VOICE], not like a scheduling tool wrote them.

Rules: draft only from [HAPPENINGS], [MATERIAL] and [DATES] — invent no events, products, prices or customer stories; a slot that needs an unknown detail gets [NEEDED: detail] in the caption. Respect [AVOID] everywhere. If [HAPPENINGS] is empty, ask for it first — a calendar detached from the real month is why feeds feel hollow. Any giveaway post gets the one-line flag: check state trade-promotion permit rules before running a draw.
