#Spotted While Roaming in Aotearoa New Zealand:
Two small humans (5 & 7?) are skipping either side of Dad down the street.
Holding his hands.
Their school bags bobbing up and down on their backs as they excitedly tell him about ALL the things they did at school today.
A woman (20s?) wearing colourful clothes, is sitting on her pushbike waiting for the light to turn green.
Smiling to herself as she does a little dance to the music in her earbuds.
A small moment of happiness before she rolls on to the rest of her day.
A small human (4?) is dinosaur ROARING and STOMPING towards a cafe door.
Dad asks him to open it and he pushes
and pushes
and PUSHES.
But what is this?!
The door is too mighty for Small Human T-Rex's arms?
Time for Dadosaurus to come to the rescue!
Two small humans (3 & 5?) are piecing together a wooden jigsaw.
One's technique involves considered thought before trying to see if a piece will fit.
The other is going for a ram-it-in-and-see approach with added industrious GNNNRAAAAR noises.
Both seem perfectly content with this arrangement.
A young human (8?) in a tie dye hoodie is hovering next to Dad while he eats his breakfast in a cafe.
Her fork is poised.
Her attention is focussed.
That hash brown will be hers the minute Dad is distracted!
Thwarted!
Dad gobbled it up in one bite!
Hmm... what about that sausage though...

Any typos spotted in this post are super looking forward to the third last in-person session for Beautiful Words Festival here in Nelson. If typos spotted, they'll be listening to the singer Young Moon chatting to their lovely friend Jo and being very appreciative of their wonderful friends.
