Snort laughing at a shared joke. Splitting a brownie between them. Dad and daughter catch up. </p><p>Two teens (13?) are swinging as high as they can go in a big open park surrounded by shady trees. Legs up in the air. One yelling "WOOOO". Haloed by the last sunbeam of the day as dusk falls. </p><p>Three women (70s?) in a delightful assortment of peacock-bright colours are cosied around a table in a sunbeam. Pastry crumbs flying. Leaning back as they laugh. A second teapot comes to the table and one asks: "Shall I be mother this time?"* </p><p>A tiny human (2?) would very much like to reach a book on a library shelf. <br />She's trying to reach... trying... trying... <br />But what is this?!<br />Her sister is giving her a boost?<br />Now she's big enough to see ALL THE BOOKS.<br />Maybe she'll grab a few... </p><p>Any typos spotted in this post are very rugged up on a rather chilly morning today. If typos spotted, they'll be making a second cup of tea, putting on their extra warm socks and will be sitting on their front step to listen to the little stray cat in the garden as it meows the latest local gossip.</p><p>(Continued Below)</p>]]></description><link>https://board.circlewithadot.net/topic/8f845193-e5e0-450f-ba06-9695bb2662f0/spotted-while-roaming-in-aotearoa-new-zealand</link><generator>RSS for Node</generator><lastBuildDate>Fri, 15 May 2026 05:56:50 GMT</lastBuildDate><atom:link href="https://board.circlewithadot.net/topic/8f845193-e5e0-450f-ba06-9695bb2662f0.rss" rel="self" type="application/rss+xml"/><pubDate>Mon, 11 May 2026 20:51:58 GMT</pubDate><ttl>60</ttl><item><title><![CDATA[Reply to #Spotted While Roaming in Aotearoa New Zealand: on Mon, 11 May 2026 20:58:11 GMT]]></title><description><![CDATA[<p><span><a href="/user/stevegis_ssg%40mas.to">@<span>stevegis_ssg</span></a></span> <span><a href="/user/georgepenney%40sunny.garden">@<span>georgepenney</span></a></span> "Bundled up in warmest clothes" is our family interpretation...</p>]]></description><link>https://board.circlewithadot.net/post/https://mathstodon.xyz/users/virtuosew/statuses/116557944699565101</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://board.circlewithadot.net/post/https://mathstodon.xyz/users/virtuosew/statuses/116557944699565101</guid><dc:creator><![CDATA[virtuosew@mathstodon.xyz]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Mon, 11 May 2026 20:58:11 GMT</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Reply to #Spotted While Roaming in Aotearoa New Zealand: on Mon, 11 May 2026 20:56:38 GMT]]></title><description><![CDATA[<p><span><a href="/user/georgepenney%40sunny.garden">@<span>georgepenney</span></a></span> </p><p>Knew that one but not "rugged up"!</p>]]></description><link>https://board.circlewithadot.net/post/https://mas.to/users/stevegis_ssg/statuses/116557938569128026</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://board.circlewithadot.net/post/https://mas.to/users/stevegis_ssg/statuses/116557938569128026</guid><dc:creator><![CDATA[stevegis_ssg@mas.to]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Mon, 11 May 2026 20:56:38 GMT</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Reply to #Spotted While Roaming in Aotearoa New Zealand: on Mon, 11 May 2026 20:54:32 GMT]]></title><description><![CDATA[<p><span><a href="/user/georgepenney%40sunny.garden">@<span>georgepenney</span></a></span> Thank you for dispelling the Hitchcockian vibe.</p>]]></description><link>https://board.circlewithadot.net/post/https://sunny.garden/users/theotherbrook/statuses/116557930341552136</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://board.circlewithadot.net/post/https://sunny.garden/users/theotherbrook/statuses/116557930341552136</guid><dc:creator><![CDATA[theotherbrook@sunny.garden]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Mon, 11 May 2026 20:54:32 GMT</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Reply to #Spotted While Roaming in Aotearoa New Zealand: on Mon, 11 May 2026 20:52:11 GMT]]></title><description><![CDATA[<p>*I'm not sure if this expression is a widely known one nowadays.
