🧵Spotted While Roaming in Aotearoa New Zealand:
A small human (3?) is marching into a bakery with Dad. Arms swinging at his side, chest puffed up with importance.
Cloaked in an adorably oversized high-vis vest.
Dad's hardhat on his head.
He's on the job, and at the moment that job is ordering a potato pie with EXTRA tomato sauce.
At a crosswalk: A small human (4?) is saying: "Hold my hand Mum. You have to look both ways when you cross the road."
Mum following this sensible advice.
Crossing and heading into a nearby museum.
There is science and history to explore!
A greyhound wearing a floral pink coat and a pretty orange collar is trotting along next to her human (80s?).
A passerby compliments them on the doggy couture and Greyhound's Human beams: "I figure she deserves a bit of spoiling after the life she had before. She's m'best friend now."
A man (50s?) in work clothes is standing in front of a MASSIVE overgrown garden with his hands on his hips, expression pensive.
A passerby says: "Big job today?"
He nods stoically. "Yup. Big job. Not a bad one but a big one."
Two women (20s?) in business casual are sitting on some steps leading up to a cathedral. Lunchboxes on their laps. Amiably chatting. Soaking up some winter sun on a Friday lunchbreak.
