#Spotted While Roaming in Aotearoa New Zealand:
A woman (40s?) is walking along the lawn mower aisle, cheekily poking her partner in the side.
He grumbles: "I'm very famous you know. You shouldn't do that."
She laughs. "That's news to me. Famous? Where?"
"Liverpool."
"You are not!"
"How'd you know? You've never been to Liverpool."
A small human (5?) is droopily dragging himself around the plant section.
Huffing and sighing, blowing disconsolate raspberries.
But what is this?!
A concrete garden gnome widdling into a fishpond?!
This is MUCH more interesting!
Two young humans (brothers? 6 & 8?) are playing a game of keep-me-off basketball on a quiet street.
The game plan is great.
Except...
The street is on a very steep hill.
Hmm the plan is mighty, the execution...ah well, they're having fun
Two tiny humans (1 & 2?) dressed in fairy costumes are doing a wiggly wobbly dance as Dad orders at a sausage sizzle stand. Arms outstretched as Dad collects their magnificent breakfasts. Dad reminding them to use their manners.
(What are manners when there are sausages to be had?!)
A small human (4) wearing a dinosaur T-shirt, Minecraft shorts and bare feet is skipping along the garden tool aisle. Roaring a song about Uncle Ben being a VERY BIG STINKY HEAD.
(Uncle Ben does not seem too worried about this potentially alarming cranial condition.) (5)
