Toot

[#]Spotted While Roaming in Aotearoa #NewZealand

In a gallery, a man (19?) inspects a handmade table and says to his partner: "I'm gonna make you a table. That's how I'll show you I love you."

She laughs: "You mean I don't know it already?"

He replies: "Yeah. But this is TABLE love."

On a hiking track a woman (30s?) is holding her twin small humans (4?) by the hand. She's singing a song about not being scared in the bush and they're joining in with the chorus. "1 STEP. 2 STEPS. 3 STEPS. 4!" Roaring it into the nearby fern trees.

Two budget camper vans are parked at an idyllic mountain lookout. 4 men (Late teens?) are soaking up the sun. They're passing a bar of chocolate between them to break onto their breakfast muesli.

A weka is lurking in the ferns nearby. This looks promising...

A small human (5?) is picking daisies with her grandad (60s?). She gets him to crouch down so she can arrange them behind his ears. They're both seen having an ice-cream in a small town later, ear flower tufts still in place.

A couple (20s?) have unpacked the entirety of their campervan at a mountain pass rest area and are searching through it frantically. Pots, pans, food, clothes are strewn everywhere in a flurry of activity. One suddenly shouts victoriously and holds up a phone charger. The day is saved!

Any typos spotted in this post are most definitely not scared of wandering through the bush in Aotearoa. Unless there's a weka looking to steal their breakfast... Or eye level sticks.

For people on my side of the pond, a weka is a flightless bird. Friend, your observations are a highlight of my day. Many, many thanks. 💖🌸

@georgepenney A weka spotted in the wild? I like hearing this.

I saw one of those once... in the '70s.
