#Spotted While Roaming in Aotearoa New Zealand:
A teen (15?) calls out to an approaching woman (60s?), wearing a purple demin jacket.
Teen proudly holds a booted foot out: "Nan! Check out my new Docs! They're the same pink as the ones you used to have!"
Nan is VERY impressed.
Dad is offloading groceries from a car while a staffy bounds around him, tail wagging happily.
Mum's wrangling a chortling tiny human (2?).
All is cheerfully chaotic.
Well, except for Young Human (8?).
He's nonchalantly leaning against the car bumper, reading a Tin Tin comic. In his own world.
A small human (3?) runs up to a woman (50?).
"Nana! NANA! Can I come stay with you today?!"
Nana pretends to gives this some serious thought. "Do you think you can help me with the gardening?"
Small Human roars: "YES!"
"Then get your teddy. Let's go."
Small Human is DELIGHTED.
At a coffee cart, a man (30s?) says something to wind up his partner and chuckles as he deftly dodges a playful gut punch.
But little does he know he's going to get his bottom pinched while talking to friends moments later! (Sneak attack!)
He yelps!
His partner grins victoriously.
A small human (5?) wearing a dinosaur hoodie is telling his friends a VERY dramatic story. It involves a lot of arm waving, running about, bellowing... and falling over.
Oh wait, the falling over isn't a part of it.
But now it is! Yes!
That's EXACTLY how it went!
A master raconteur at work.

Good morning.

oh that's unfortunate, he was definitely one of the draws.
Did you see him in that short with Ethan Hawke ('strange way of life')? That was pretty good! He also apparently is taking over for Joaquin in that queer spicy movie that he walked off right before filming starting ( will shoot this winter).

Here's how seasonal vaccination works in BC, Canada. Province texts you to say it's time. Click the link and pick a date, time, location, and what you want (COVID, flu, etc). Go, get vaccine, done. It's free and easy. It should be like this everywhere.
