#Spotted While Roaming in Aotearoa #NewZealand
At a country market: Two small humans (3 & 5?) are inspecting a flower press. The older glances over her shoulder at a nearby shrub. The younger looks speculatively at her big sister. She asks: "Mum, can we put PEOPLE in there?"
A small human (4?) is glancing over a market stall selling possum fur willie warmers. He picks up a pink one and says: "Nana, what's this?" Without missing a beat Nana says wryly: "Wishful thinking." Small human seems satisfied with this answer and moves on to the toys.
An American tourist (30s?) is excitedly talking to a local. She says: "My card didn't work when I paid for coffee and can you believe they told me to pay when I go in tomorrow? I mean, I'm going to, but who does that?" The Kiwi shrugs and says: "Makes sense."
A man (30s?) in business casual walks into a bistro at the end of a hot day. He sits at the bar, rests his head on his hands and asks the owner for wine in a mug. She laughs: "Mug wine? Yum! You want any in particular?" He says: "Whatever you wanna give me."
2 tourists (20s?) are in line for a pie truck. When the 1st orders in a broad Yorkshire accent, the 2nd asks where she's from. It turns out they both live on the same street in York, but have never met. Excited conversation follows.
The typos are somewhat sleepy after being prevented from driving to Christchurch yesterday by a bush fire, discovered 3 hours in. If spotted, please give typos a nice pie and a mug of wine.
