#Spotted While Roaming in Aotearoa New Zealand:

A woman (70s?) approaches a friend while holding a potted rosemary plant with a big blue bow around the pot.
Grinning as she hands it over, saying: "Happy birthday darl!"
Her friend asks. "Rosemary?"
"For remembrance."
Her friend exclaims. "How could I ever forget YOU?!"
They share a big hug.

It's the cafe lunchtime rush.
Every table is full.
A queue at the till.
People still approaching from down the street.
And a bustling server still finds the time to do a little ninja-move dance to make the barista laugh.
Grinning as he heads to the kitchen with arms overladen with dishes.

A man (40s?) is sitting at a cafe table with a vintage Monopoly box (70s edition?) in front of him.
Opening the lid and carefully lifting out the money and playing pieces.
Holding the boot up with a faint, thoughtful smile. (4)

A man (50s?) is approaching his garden gate when a huge fluffy cat darts out.
Meowing an enthusiastic hello.
Brushing first this way and that against his legs and asking to be picked up for a big snuggly hug.
Purring like a cuddly little tractor.

A man (80s?) is talking to a woman (40s?) over a pot of tea.
He says in a booming voice: "Your mother was my sunshine. I'll never go a day without missing her. Lit up my life and still does. Pure sunshine."
He nods emphatically.
