Spotted on a sunny spring day in small city Aotearoa #newzealand
A small human (3?) in a bucket hat holding his mum's hand. He gives her a stern frown and intones with hilarious pomposity: Mum, I think we should go to the cafe so I can see what I can eat.
His mum snort laughs: Should we now?!
An immaculately styled woman (40s?) on a first cafe date with a man (50s?) in an old T-shirt. He monologues about crypto, housing and his will for 20 mins before she takes a decisive chomp of her bagel and says, "I'd rather my son enjoy my money before I'm dust," and makes her excuses to leave.
A woman (80s?) in a boho yellow cap, approaching the aforementioned stylish woman after she's ditched her disaster date, then returned to the cafe to order a coffee .She says with a grin, "There are always plenty of fish in the sea Darl, but maybe you'd be better with an octopus!"
A tiny white floof of a Pomeranian hanging out the window of a vintage Holden ute blasting Bob Marley. It's grinning at everyone it passes. This is the happiest dog in the world.
A man (20s) who has fallen asleep while working at his laptop in a library. His head's fallen back and he's just started doing the kind of snores that would alarm a congested T-Rex. A group of pre-schoolers are spying on him from behind a shelf, fascinated.
Any typos spotted in this post are rather impressed by how delightfully oddball this city becomes the minute the sun comes out. If spotted, please enjoy them before they turn to dust.
