#Spotted Recently on Market Day in Aotearoa New Zealand:
A small human (3?) in a dinosaur shirt is MOST disgruntled. Looking up at Mum with an offended frown he states emphatically: "We are IN THE WRONG CARPARK! The toy shop ISN'T HERE!"
Mum doesn't seem to grasp the gravity of this situation.
A woman (60s?) is carefully making her way through the markets with the help of a walking stick covered in bright red Christmas tinsel. She might be a little slow, but she's sparkly. People smiling in her wake.
A woman (50s?) stops abruptly next to a newly vacant lot, exclaiming to her partner: "Look! A rogue iris! How special is that?!"
Grinning she points to a pretty purple flower that's popped up from between cracked concrete slabs where a block of flats used to be.
Three small humans (2-6?) are all scrunched up together on a bench seat in front of a public piano.
They're working on a masterpiece!
What it is, no one knows!
The important thing is that they're all having fun.
Fingers racing over the keys.
Chortles and giggles and plinkety plonk.
Two snortling small humans (3 & 5?) have decided that they cannot possibly get into the car until they first:
Spin around this pole here...
Then jump over this crack... here
Then do some vigorous jumping on the spot... here.
Dad waiting with his arms crossed, chest heaving with a huge sigh.
