#Spotted on a Rainy Market Day in Aotearoa New Zealand:
A small human (5?) is holding an umbrella up as HIGH as he can to shelter Nan from a light rain shower.
Expression solemn.
This job is serious business.
Nan crouching down a little to fit underneath, wearing a softly amused smile.
A woman (60s?) is having a VERY serious conversation with her partner. Expression stern, voice sharp.
But what is this?
Her partner sneaking a piece of bacon of her plate while she's talking?
And then another one?
And now a bite of sausage?
His eyes smiling cheekily as the lecture goes on.
A man (20s?) wearing a hoodie, black jeans and battered sneakers is strutting along.
Singing to himself as he goes, only to be stopped by a woman (30s?) who says: "OMG I've had that song in my head all day too!"
A young human (8?) is running through the markets, roaring to someone behind her: "I'M GOING BUT I DON'T REALLY KNOW WHERE I'M GOING!"
A passing man (60s?) saying: "Isn't that all of us?"
A small human (3?) is clutching a wheel of camembert cheese to her chest and wearing a big watery frown.
Dad asks what's wrong and she bellows with utmost distress: "MY CHEESE IS SAD!"
Dad trying to commiserate in between belly chuckles.
