He scrunches his eyes tightly shut and carefully moves his face towards a clump of new leaves, inhaling deeply and exhaling with an "AHHH" before turning and grinning at his mum.An elderly black dog has decided that the sunniest spot in an entire beer garden is in front of the door to the loos. He looks balefully up at anyone who approaches and groans with the air of a disgruntled creaking door when people step over him. His expression epically judgemental. In the window of a restaurant. A couple (60s?) in best jeans and crisply ironed t-shirts are arranging a checkers set on a table. Their body language is animated as they place the pieces on the board. They might be on a fancy dinner date, but they're going to do things their way. An extended family are alighting from a car. A teen (13?) is holding a homemade chocolate cake decorated in sprinkles. Mum and Dad are looking at a phone, bickering over where the restaurant is. Grandad is brandishing a bottle of Italian red wine, cheerfully waving at people he knows in town.In a park: A small human (3?) most definitely does not want to go home to bed. Mum is telling him that he has to come help pack up his toys but NOPE, he has important business to see to, including some scratchy tree bark to inspect. He's NOT tired. NOT. TIRED. AT. ALL. (He is SO very tired.) (Continued below)

Her yellow T-shirt vivid in the light of the street lamps. A sleek tabby cat loping amiably at her side. Crickets chirping in the night air.In a cafe: A woman (30s?) is teaching two small humans (3 and 5?) how to play chess. Patiently, she sets the board and explains the rules, talking of Powerful Queens! Noble Kings! Brave Soldiers and Big Castles. And best of all, The Big Horse!A table of 3 women (Granddaughter, Mum, Gran?) are enjoying a coffee, cake and raucous conversation. Every few minutes they burst into gusts of near-identical gloriously cronish cackles. People at nearby tables pausing to grin. This kind of unmitigated glee is catching.A man (80s?) arrives at a riverbank with his elderly staffy. He says: "I think the water's a bit too nippy for a swim today Tank." Tank wanders down to the water anyway to form his own opinion, then returns for a pat on the head. They continue on a gentle meander home.A small human (3?) is sitting at a table with his gran. A very large brownie arrives. He inspects the brownie and says with adorable pomposity. "That brownie is ugly. You should let me eat it for you." Inexplicably, Gran finds this very sensible reasoning hilarious. Any typos spotted in this post DEFINITELY want to be the Big Horse in their next game of chess. If spotted, please laugh if they try and use the power of logic to gobble your brownie.

She gets to the top of a big hill and whistles, laughing when a wet and muddy spaniel bursts from the water, belts up the bank and down the hill at her side. Pure doggy joy. Paws pounding the dirt. A small human (5?) wearing a serious expression is crouched next to a large spiderweb. She's armed with a Special Scientific Investigation Stick but she's not quite sure what to do with it. So she pokes her younger brother instead. Yes. This type of science is far more satisfying.A woman (20s?) in a blue felt hat is walking through a flea market with a spring in her step. She's brandishing two padded coat hangers decorated in lace and ribbons in one hand, waving at friends with the other. Her wardrobe's gonna live it large today! A tiny human (1?) has lost her nose! (Oh no!) Dad's holding it between two of his fingers. She stares wide eyed at him, shocked at this anatomical feat, only to chortle with delight when he puts it back, holding up his splayed hand up as evidence.A woman (80s?) is sitting on a bench overlooking a park and mountains just on sunset. She's got a sketchpad in her lap, a wooden box of pastels at her side and is hard at work capturing the colours. Her gruntling and snortling bulldog rubbing his face on the grass nearby.Any typos spotted in this post are a breed of Exclamation Point Wagging Qwerties.

He looks at the stall owner for permission and then carefully picks Teddy up for a very big, very earnest, very long hug.A small human (5?) has discovered a display of preserved and framed beetles. This is AMAZING and Junior Bug Scientist has many BEETLE FACTS to share. Most of them are about who they can beat in a fight, but his enthusiasm is admirable and his Grandad lets him pick his favourite to take home. A teen (14?) is sitting on a hay bale next to her dad who's drinking a coffee. She says: "You're a coffee addict Dad. We should hold an intervention." He looks at her over his cup, eyes smiling: "Yeah... right...There any coffee at this intervention? Because I'm not goin' if there's no coffee." Two men (70s?) in baseball caps are sitting side by side near a stall selling pottery. They're talking fishing and are caught up in showing each other pictures of their last catches, telling stories of the ones that got away. Laughing at each other's tall tales.A man (40s?) is trying to pick out a kūmara* at a fruit and vege stall. He picks one up, inspects, weighs in his hands, murmurs to himself, purses his lips... puts it down. Picks up another one... nope... or maybe...no. He decides to get a pumpkin instead. (5)*Kūmaras are sweet potatoes

He's got a brand new looking LEGO Jaws set under his arm. His grin is euphoric.A man (60s?) with an infectious, goofy laugh is sitting on a couch on his porch. Someone in his garden is barbequing sausages while cheerfully chatting. Music playing. A golden retriever is trying to gift sticks to anyone passing by who'll take them. The sound and smell of happiness in the air.An elderly black poodle is being walked by his human. He might look a bit dishevelled. He might be a little grey around the snoot. But he will prance with the best of them! His paws skipping along the footpath, his tail wagging, a doggy smile for anyone who passes. Five teens are walking along, randomly bouncing basket balls. They've got swagger. They've got style. One takes a call, then says: "Hey, ah, I gotta go home early cos my mum just said we're havin' cauliflower cheese for dinner eh." His mates agree, this is a most worthy reason for bailing.A woman in an austere black dress walks out of an office.
