#Spotted While Roaming in Aotearoa New Zealand:
In an art gallery, a school group (8?) is engaged in gloriously controlled mayhem.
Exploring the artwork while:
laying on their backs,
while doing handstands,
while wrestling with each other...
Teacher chill and answering ALL the questions.
A tiny human (2?) wearing a bright orange bike helmet, a dinosaur T-shirt and riding a tricycle is zooming SO FAST through a park.
Roaring with epic aplomb at the ducks who do not seem to be bothered by these raucous shenanigans.
Two women (20s & 80s?) are sharing a pot of tea while engaged in a bubbly conversation.
Stopping to hold hands for a brief solemn moment before bursting into giggles and ordering more cake.
A woman (70s?) wearing zebra print, leopard print and a tiara is holding court as she drinks coffee with friends. Declaring: "It's SO weird to be surrounded by old people only to realize that I'M old too!"
Her friend hoots and says: "Speak for yourself! I'm a spring chicken!"
A woman (20s?) is walking through a pretty park while holding a Pyrex dish of lasagne.
Choosing a picnic table right next to a small lake.
Yes.
This will do nicely.
Tucking into lunch while a gang of snack seeking ducks begins to assemble.
Any typos spotted in this post were thoroughly entertained on seeing a school group romping around an art gallery this morning. If typos spotted they'll be enjoying a pot of tea while watching an admirably persistent group of ducks questing for lasagne.

@georgepenney@sunny.garden love your kids in the gallery. I have a favourite pic in my book of kids appearing intent on looking at their phones in front of a great painting, but actually they are completing the lesson on the app on their phones ABOUT the great painting. No one looks at the painting. Maybe the Museum just made the app to stop the mayhem

@georgepenney@sunny.garden *is one of those eight-year-olds wrestling and playing in the art gallery, is one of those Lasagna snaffling ducks, and is that two year old roaring at ducks as they ride past*
