Welcome to this week’s casual kōrero thread!
This post will be pinned in this community so you can always find it, and will stay for about a week until replaced by the next one.
It’s for talking about anything that might not justify a full post. For example:
- Something interesting that happened to you
- Something humourous that happened to you
- Something frustrating that happened to you
- A quick question
- A request for recommendations
- Pictures of your pet
- A picture of a cloud that kind of looks like an elephant
- Anything else, there are no rules (except the rule)
So how’s it going?


This morning one of my kids asked “can I have a hair dryer for my birthday?”
I said we will discuss it closer to the time as they want everything for their birthday. They said “I don’t want everything, I don’t want…” then thought for a full 30 seconds of ums and ahs before saying “I don’t want a broom for my birthday! Well, I do want a broomstick”.
