#Spotted on Market Day in a Small City in Aotearoa New Zealand:
A man (60s?) tries a fresh fig at a friend's fruit stall and says: "Ya don't need blue pills if you eat one of these, I tell ya."
His wife snort-laughs, retorting: "Well THAT came outa leftfield!"
At a cheese snack stall: Two young humans (8 & 10?) are trying multiple samples and they're giving the vendor some very serious tasting notes. He is listening with an admirable solemnity, mouth only twitching a tiny bit.
A small human (3?) has just raced out of the shower/laundry block at the center of the markets and is doing a nudie run with Dad in hot pursuit! Small human's told he's gotta get dressed at their campervan before lunch but he's having none of it. Who needs clothes on a sunny day like this?!
A woman (90s?) wearing a sparkly blue top is holding court from her wheelchair, which her son has rolled into a sunny spot. Numerous people stop by to say hello. She's laughing and chatting, asking about their plans for the day.
A man (60s?) brings two coffees over to a table where his friend is waiting. With a conspiratorial grin he says: "I've just thought of the PERFECT gift for Rose, mate. You can't go wrong. What you've gotta do is buy her a chess set! You can never go wrong with a chess set!"
Any typos spotted in this post are streaking through some markets while their spell checker is in hot pursuit. If spotted, lure them into covering up their ampersands with the promise of waffles.
