#Spotted While Roaming in Aotearoa New Zealand:

A smartly dressed woman (50s?) storms across a supermarket carpark, speaking in a thick Kiwi accent* to her husband. She flames: "Darren, it's NOT a party without chips and dips. HOW can it be a PROPER PARTY without CHIPS AND DIPS?!"

A woman (50s?) is going through a supermarket checkout.
The checkout operator (60s?) gives her an appraising look and finally says: "You play netball?"
The other woman says: "Yes."
"What position?"
"Centre"
"Thought so."
They share a grin.

A young human (8?) and his nan (50s?) are talking to a friend (50s?).
Young human says: "I like riding with Nan. She's plays good music."
Nan nods. This is correct information.
Later seen pulling out of a carpark, Young Human and Nan beaming.
Tupac filtering out their open car windows.

A stoic looking man (30s?) is strutting down the street in a business suit. His pace is quick, his demeanour no-nonsense.
But what is this?
A $2 bag of mixed lollies* in one hand?
Pulling out a gummy snake and chomping it with a fleeting smile.
A small moment of fun.

A tall man (late teens) is walking down the street of a quiet town wearing a heavy hiking pack, muddy gear and hiking boots, a ukulele clutched to his chest.
Strumming as he walks.
Wearing a faraway expression as he quietly sings the words.

Any typos spotted in this post have just learned that a party is never a party without chips and dips! If spotted, please direct them to the nearest supermarket aisle holding onion soup mix. There's a party on and it's an emergency. Only Kiwi dip** will save the day!

*Lollies are sweets or candy.

**For the kiwis, think a thick Dunedin accent. For the lovely overseas people replace the words "chips and dips" with an emphatically said, "chups and dups."

***Kiwi dip is an iconic New Zealand party dip featuring cream and onion soup mix, with lemon. There are fancier versions, but this is the old faithful. Just in case you want to have a party and need some quick dip to have with your chips. (It's not a party without chips and dip!)
