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?

Looks like the rainy days (weeks?) are over, at least here in the Waikato.

We've had the landscaper and builder come over to do our garden. Lots of planting, weeding and eating still to be done. Going to invest in some 'beautiful' concrete containers to grow my second round of potatoes in, because my mum won't allow me to grow them in 'ugly' plastic barrels. I suppose she does have a point - considering how ugly the modern world has become, in our pursuit of efficiency and economics. If only she took the same militant stance against car-centric cities, and modern architecture.. then maybe we would finally agree on something.

We've met so many of our neighbours, and their friends, after my stepdad passed away. Going to start vlogging and documenting my homesteading/urban farming progress on YouTube - and then later this year also getting started with my fibreglass boat-building journey.
