Welcome to today’s daily kōrero!
Anyone can make the thread, first in first served. If you are here on a day and there’s no daily thread, feel free to create it!
Anyway, it’s just a chance to talk about your day, what you have planned, what you have done, etc.
So, how’s it going?
Oh boy, I need to swim more if it does that!
By “swim” I mean float around vaguely in the ocean. I saw an big fish jump straight up into the air quite close to me.
Like, it wasn’t just a silver blur like they usually are. There was a moment at the height of the jump where I could see all the details of the fish (eye, mouth, fins, scale pattern).
That’s awesome! When I was a kid we sometimes used to go to the breakwater in New Plymouth at dusk and watch the fish jump out of the water (I have no idea why they did that, maybe that was a good time for sharks to hunt?).
Or kingfish, hapuka… that sounds cool, regular fish jumping shows!
Have to admit after a few fish jumping yesterday I had a brief moment of thinking hang on why exactly are good-sized fish trying to escape, but then I remembered sharks don’t really want to eat humans.
It doesn’t mean they don’t occasionally eat one anyway 😆
Shhh ha ha.
They’ve only killed like 13 or 14 people since NZ started recording it.

Heh. Swimming dogs on the other hand… pays not to get too close. :-)
