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?

    Back to work today. It’s crazy how fast it goes from “I guess I could do more on this” to “Do all the things” so quickly.

    This was a good weekend though. Went out for some geocaching on Matariki, and climbed one of the two Mt. Haast’s on Saturday, and had friends over all day Sunday.

        It’s amazing up that high, but wow was it tough to get there. That whole route is like 45 degrees incline the whole way, or its walking in a creek bed and trying not to sink in the mud! I may make a post with some pictures later today

              You can upload images directly into posts. Might be easiest on the website.

              I don’t think there are albums but you can upload one for the post then in the post body you can add the others by clicking the little add image button.

              There’s a 5MB file size limit, and the error is not helpful, so I thought I’d better mention it.

    Just received the invoice from the sparky after our mains entry point burnt out and needed an after-hours replacement. It’s in the ballpark I was expecting (in fact maybe a bit under), but not so high that it’s worth going through house insurance to only save a couple of hundred once I pay the excess.

      Thanks for the update! I’m often surprised by low tradesman bills, mostly because I always expect them to cost a fortune.

    Heading back home today after a week visiting my parents with my son (and then was joined later by the rest of my family). Back to work tomorrow 😐

    Our dehumidifier burnt out this morning; luckily it went while we were up and moving about (we run it overnight usually). Anyone have any recommendations on a replacement? The only thing I can think of in terms of specs is something that has a night/quiet mode - I’m not sure what else to look for.
