#Spotted While Roaming in Aotearoa New Zealand:
In an art gallery, a school group (8?) is engaged in gloriously controlled mayhem.
Exploring the artwork while:
laying on their backs,
while doing handstands,
while wrestling with each other...
Teacher chill and answering ALL the questions.
A tiny human (2?) wearing a bright orange bike helmet, a dinosaur T-shirt and riding a tricycle is zooming SO FAST through a park.
Roaring with epic aplomb at the ducks who do not seem to be bothered by these raucous shenanigans.
Two women (20s & 80s?) are sharing a pot of tea while engaged in a bubbly conversation.
Stopping to hold hands for a brief solemn moment before bursting into giggles and ordering more cake.
A woman (70s?) wearing zebra print, leopard print and a tiara is holding court as she drinks coffee with friends. Declaring: "It's SO weird to be surrounded by old people only to realize that I'M old too!"
Her friend hoots and says: "Speak for yourself! I'm a spring chicken!"
A woman (20s?) is walking through a pretty park while holding a Pyrex dish of lasagne.
Choosing a picnic table right next to a small lake.
Yes.
This will do nicely.
Tucking into lunch while a gang of snack seeking ducks begins to assemble.
Any typos spotted in this post were thoroughly entertained on seeing a school group romping around an art gallery this morning. If typos spotted they'll be enjoying a pot of tea while watching an admirably persistent group of ducks questing for lasagne.
