She says: "My approach with all this is to waft all over the place. I might waft over here to the veges. Then waft over there to the churros. It's all about what the mood, you know. Especially with the churros."A woman (30s?) has just brought 3 madeleines at a patisserie stall. Her partner (30s?) picks up the bag and says: "Yum!" She scowls: "They're for LATER!" He shakes his head: "Nope. Gotta eat 'em now. They'll definitely go off. It's the RIGHT thing to do." He pops one in his mouth and grins.Any typos spotted in this post are a variety of Rational Pastry Muncher. If spotted, please ignore their tendency to gobble any nearby pastries.

A backpack and walking poles at her side. A small human (4?) is regaling her dad with a story. She says: "Once upon a time there was a little girl who ate an ice cream and then she got another one. And then A MONKEY CAME!" Dad shows appreciation for this shock ending, but doesn't seem to be getting her subtle hints about the ice cream. A man (30s?) is standing in the middle of his front garden drinking a coffee as he looks at a newly mulched flower bed. He expression is content. He's wearing pajamas, his feet bare. His small white dog snuffling at a nearby aniseed plant, tail alert. A woman (50s?) is talking to a friend in front of a gnocchi truck. She says: "We had the last kid leave for uni a few weeks ago and I'd forgotten how great it is to be naked around my own house! What are clothes? I don't need them any more!" Her friend laughs. A tiny human (2?) in a green fairy dress is eating a slice of pizza with her pinky finger stuck in the air. Being a refined fairy, she will eat this pizza with the decorum it deserves. Meanwhile her brother (4?) has cheerfully mashed his slice into his face and is asking for seconds. Any typos spotted in this post are looking for a nice bench to sit and enjoy some unexpected piano music while eating their ice cream.
