#Spotted While Roaming in Aotearoa New Zealand:
A barista (20s?) is beaming as he tells a customer (50s?) that he's just met someone.
He says: "She came in here for coffee and asked me out! Turns out she's a friend of a friend. It's been five days and it's pretty sweet, eh."
A rather serious looking white dog (poodle cross accountant?) is sitting on his human's lap. Snuffling and grrrmphing as his human repeatedly neglects to give him some of her scone. Serious Dog has done the calculations and he's at least due half!
Two road workers (20s & 40s?) in full high vis are relaxing on a patch of grass during smoko*. Both soaking up some winter sun. Tummies shaking as they make each other laugh.
Two teens (14?) are walking along a street lined with flowering magnolia trees.
Sharing a sandwich.
Solving the world's problems.
Big blue sky.
A tūī serenading them from a tree branch overhead.
A woman (70s?) is saying to a friend: "Did I tell you that I took Mum to the movies last night? She loves a horror flick and it was an absolute nightmare. I didn't sleep at all! She's ninety four! You'd think she'd be over all that by now."
Her friend laughs and says: "Never too old!"
