    #Spotted While Roaming in Aotearoa New Zealand:

    A tiny human (2?) has just sat on a spaceship ride in a supermarket and (gasp) Nana's made it go.
    Little arms flying in the air like a rodeo rider.
    Euphoric expression.
    Roaring "I'm FLYING NANA!" with absolute glee.

    A woman (30s?) and a man (60s?) with near-identical smiles are leaning towards each other across a cafe table. Snort laughing at a shared joke. Splitting a brownie between them. Dad and daughter catch up.

    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.

    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?"*

    A tiny human (2?) would very much like to reach a book on a library shelf.
    She's trying to reach... trying... trying...
    But what is this?!
    Her sister is giving her a boost?
    Now she's big enough to see ALL THE BOOKS.
    Maybe she'll grab a few...

    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.

      *I'm not sure if this expression is a widely known one nowadays. But "Shall I be mother?" means that you're offering to pour the tea.

        @georgepenney Thank you for dispelling the Hitchcockian vibe.

            @stevegis_ssg @georgepenney "Bundled up in warmest clothes" is our family interpretation...
