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?

Probably squishy because of the river?

Clay's malleability depends on its water content. If a ceramicist wanted to use your river clay they'd probably add more water so they could strain out impurities (sticks etc) then leave it to dry until it got to the right consistency.

I wish you were there at the time, we could have sold it as real usable clay!

Missed opportunity, I could have been Elon Musk if I'd had your advice back then!
