#Spotted While Roaming in Aotearoa New Zealand:
A woman (80s?) who is small in stature, with a vibrant personality is standing in the biscuit aisle of a supermarket. She says to a passerby: "The problem with biscuits is that I eat all the biscuits! I never regret it. But I DO eat them all."
A tiny human (2?) is snuggling up to Dad with his face mooshed against Dad's cosy tum.
Mum's asking Tiny Human if he'd like to go play on some swings but he shakes his head.
Who needs swings when Dad hugs are to be had?
Two teen sisters (13 & 16?) are having an ARGUMENT.
Sniping and grumping and scowling while Big Sister fixes one of Little Sister's braids.
The words might be sharp but the love is there.
A man (50s?) is complimented on his extraordinarily dapper mustard yellow trousers by a friend. He says with a bashful smile: "Yeah, I felt a bit self conscious wearing them, but I figure you only live once, eh?"
A man (40s?) is sitting at a window-front counter in a Thai restaurant. There's a big bowl of tom yum in front of him and he's tucking in with a happy smile. Waving at friends who spot him inside, inviting them in.
Any typos spotted in this post are beginning to think the tunnel web spider living on their window sill may be channelling Shelob. She's lived there for a few months now rather peacefully, but she's getting VERY BIG and just nabbed a bumble bee in her web while they were writing this post. (AGHHH)
