#Spotted While Roaming in Aotearoa #NewZealand

At a riverside park a group of three small humans are watching a couple (50s?) do yoga stretches in front of their campervan. Suddenly one (5?) roars: "MUM WHY ARE THEY DOING THAT?" When shushed he's undeterred, his volume louder. "CAN I DO THAT?"

A family are motorbiking through a stunning mountain pass. Dad's on a Harley. He's a big man with a skull cap helmet and a leather jacket. Mum's riding next to him, in a floral sundress on a dainty pink scooter. Their small human (6?) is hugging Dad. Smiling into the sun. It's a perfect day.

At an outdoor play: The chatter is amicable and mellow, the vibe serene until a teen (13) abruptly says: "Hey Dad, did I show you my toe? It's totally gross." He pulls off his sock, thrusting his foot under his Dad's nose. People nearby quietly laughing.

At an outdoor play: A man (Late 80s?) wearing thick glasses and a woolly vest is speaking to friends. Smiling mischievously he says: "This is going to be rather amusing. I'm on my third beer and I'm feeling VERY levelled out." He winks.

A couple (20s?) are wading knee-deep in a river. Suddenly one drops his hat in the water and it's off around the bend. He strips off his shirt and dives in, but the hat's moving fast. Swearing and laughing heard in his wake as he gives chase.

The typos are currently on a quest to finish their latest novel. If spotted, maybe give them a cup of tea and a judgemental cat for company. They'll appreciate it.

#Spotted While Recently Roaming In Aotearoa #NewZealand

A woman (20s) in a flowing blue dress crouches down on a footpath to take a picture of a bumble bee giving a flower a good seeing to. It's sprinkling with misty rain, but neither bee or human seem to mind.

At a petrol station, a woman (18?) has pulled her car up at the tyre pump but looks a little worried about how to use it. Another woman (60s?) who is walking by with her shopping asks if she needs help. She accepts gratefully and they've soon got it sorted.

At a small town market: A food stall owner is describing the potatoes she uses in her dishes as "Sweet as!" while a busker nearby plays a tune on a penny whistle. He's dressed rather like a dashing medieval bard from a fantasy novel. Misty mountains in the distance.

A man (80s?) with an elaborately carved walking stick is chatting to a friend (80s?) at a whitebait fritter truck. He collects his order and salutes his friend: "See ya round mate. I gotta have a talk with this sandwich."

At a small town market: A man (40s?) has distracted his mum by pointing out a tūī in a nearby tree. While she's searching the branches for it, he quickly steals the bacon from her sandwich, stuffing it in his mouth and looking innocent at her when she turns back.

Any typos spotted in this post are a rather pesky Look Over There Sandwich Stuffing Snaffler. If spotted, please don't leave your sandwich unattended. They are voracious.

#Spotted at a recent Country Fete in Aotearoa #NewZealand

Two psychics have been given stalls on either side of a small community hall. One has a customer and is intensely giving a reading. The other is watching on from the other side of the hall, shuffling tarot cards, expression pointedly pensive.

A small human (4) is speaking to the owner of a crochet teddy stall. He is earnestly explaining that their teddies are nice, but his bear is much better because it's his. He then holds out his very well-loved bear to show them.

A man (60s?) is at a table covered in vintage, well-loved Matchbox cars. This is a precious collection and when asked, he says: "I'm sellin' the whole lot." and watches with a smile when a small human is enraptured by a Lamborghini.

A man (50s?) is inspecting a fresh potato stall. A tiny Chihuahua is nestled in a woven bag slung over his shoulder with its head just poking out, sniffing all the smells.

A small human (3?) is standing with a tiny puppy (poodle?) Tiny puppy wants to make friends and is wagging its tail with the power of a miniature turbine, its button eyes shining. Small human wants to make friends by roaring: "I HAVE A PUPPY" at anyone who smiles in her direction.

Any typos spotted in this post were caused by this cat who triggered a cacophony of pspspsps from the audience waiting to see a band last night. This cat did not care for the lure of pspsps. It was a proximity creature (as are the typos) and wished to be adored from afar.
