#Spotted in a Cafe in Aotearoa New Zealand:
A woman (50s?) is packing a bright red suitcase into the back of her car.
She crouches down, patting a silky terrier on the head, saying: "Alright m'darling. Are you ready to come for a drive?"
Silky terrier gives her a tail wag and is picked up for a smooch as he's put into the car.
A red cloud kelpie puppy is sitting on his human's lap at an outdoor cafe table.
Eyes sharply focussed on his human's pen as she does a crossword.
Mind controlling the words onto the page.
A small human (3?) is sitting at Mum's feet in a cafe, frowning grumpily at the Rubik's Cube is his hands.
He's not sure how this thing works.
All he knows that he does not disapprove of all this blue on the red side.
Hmm... maybe Dad can fix it.
Three men (50s to 70s?) wearing variations of plaid and blue jeans are listening to a younger man (30s?) with a very new looking moko* and a booming cheerful voice tell them about a recent trip. Sharing news about aunties, uncles and cousins, nieces and nephews over coffees and sausage rolls.
A serious looking couple (20s?) are sitting at a corner table.
Holding hands, expressions earnest.
But what is this?!
A small human at the next table (3?) roaring: "I'M A TRAIN! CHOO CHOO!"
Serious couple now stifling smiles.
Maybe not so serious after all.
