#Spotted While Roaming in Aotearoa New Zealand:
A man (50s?) wearing a flat cap, a tweed jacket, turned up jeans and Doc Martens is sitting on a park bench by a rushing river. He's sipping from a big mug of coffee and reading a newspaper. Leisurely turning the pages as two inquisitive ducks inspect his boots.
A man (40s?) leaves a department store with two small humans (5 & 6?). He says: "Now, what's the rule here?"
Oldest says: "We don't tell Mum about her presents before her birthday?"
Dad nods: "That's right."
Youngest isn't so sure: "But what if she asks? Dad. We'll HAVE to tell her then!"A tiny human (2?) has just realised that she does not like her socks and MUST remove them immediately. Mum is suggesting that taking one's gumboots and socks off in the middle of a mud puddle might pose challenges but Tiny Human is not convinced. She IS the sock expert and they will be banished!
A small human (5?) is zooming around a skate park on a skateboard. He's not quite got the hang of it, but he's got loads of enthusiasm! He comes off for the third time and is visibly fighting off tears when one of the bigger kids comes over and shows him a move. Ah. This is more like it!
In a cafe: A sleepy man (30s?) is surrounded by work colleagues in a Monday morning meeting. Serious corporate chat is happening but he's impervious!
If he rests his head against the wall here and...closes his eyes like this... no one will realises he's snoozing. (Was that a snore?)(Continued below)

@georgepenney I would love to see these sceneries drawn as black and white cartoons. I can see the inquisitive ducks so clearly in my mind, and that guy in his Doc Martens and flat cap looks so cool! (Maybe I don’t actually need the cartoon, haha).
You really know how to paint a picture in just a few words. Love it
Is there one of your books you would recommend in particular to start with?
