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?

    I’m an adult who can absolutely eat chocolate and popsicles for dinner. Right?

      One of the pitfalls of being an adult is nobody can stop you from doing just that.

      What’s the point in being an adult if you can’t?

      Depends, can you afford to spend that much on one meal?

    Finally, a bit of a respite from the sweltering heat here in Welly! Was about to turn up to work in my shorts but made a last minute decision to change into pants instead. Seems like a good call too, everyone else is also wearing pants here.

      Yes, happy for a bit of cool weather.

      BTW, if you posted this in a UK based lemmy instance, it may confuse a lot of people. Pants = undies. Good to hear you’re not going commando! :)

        With the heat, it might be a good idea to go in your undies!

      People in my office seem to be showing up in shorts more often so I finally did it last Wednesday. It felt weird still but it was so much better and more comfortable.

    Kayaking this morning, a walk to Onetahuti bay in the afternoon, then a drink with a weka in the evening.

    We kayaked 7km in 3 hours, which makes me feel a bit like @[email protected] except it’s a third of their speed but it felt like a long way!

    Also, does anyone know what this shell is? It was reasonably big, about 20cm longways.

        I’m afraid I don’t know the right words, so I’ll try to describe it. They were 2 people kayaks, one in front and one in back with a rudder controlled by the person at the back. You sat inside them, not on top, and we wore a thingy that goes around your waist and over the kayak hole to keep your toes dry. There were 4 couples, plus the guide.

        Apparently the tide was perfect, we got a boost into the inlet with the last of the incoming tide, then a boost out when the tide turned. It was a tour so we stopped and talked about this or that regularly, and we also stopped on a beach for coffee so it’s not like we were paddling for those 3 hours, and it was a pretty casual pace checking out the scenery.

            Not sure how to tell, sorry! But my guess would be plastic.
