#Spotted While Roaming in Aotearoa New Zealand: A tiny human (2?) is holding Mum's hand, pointing at a digger hard at work. Looking at passersby with an awed expression. Trying to communicate the majesty of what they're witnessing. A server is roaming around a cafe with a coffee in each hand. Looking here Looking there Laughing and saying, "This place isn't THAT big, I have NO idea where they've gone!" Seen still wandering with coffees over five minutes later. (Seen sneakily drinking a coffee a little bit after that.) A woman (60s?) is grumpily directing her husband as he reverse parks a ute* piled with firewood into their driveway. He's grumping out the window: "I can drive ya know. " "Then why're you trying to run over my rose bushes?" "They looked at me funny." She bursts into laughter. A small human's (3?) nose is pressed up against the window of a toy shop. Making direct eye contact with a pink plushie toy that looks just like a friendly muppet. Absolutely enraptured. A no-nonsense woman in an apron grins as a couple (40s?) moseys up to her cheese counter. She says: "What'll it be this week, team? We thinking soft, hard? Strong? Mild? Or should I just surprise you?" "Surprise us!" (Continued Below)

    Any typos spotted in this post are celebrating a magnificent anniversary with their beloved partner Tony today. If typos spotted, they'll be gobbling a nice plate of cheese and crackers and contemplating an evening of watching a series of all our favourite good-bad movies. (Velocipastor first up!) *Ute is the abbreviation of utility vehicle. They're iconic in New Zealand and Australia. In this case, this was an 80s or 90s Hilux.
