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?
Kayaking the Otaki river is a pretty good way to spend Christmas eve, right?
On the 26th, we’re walking into Otaki forks for an even longer trip.
Definitely! That’s a pretty cool visualisation too!
It’s a great app actually.
I checked the reviews and it has pretty mixed reviews. Eg hard to customise, buggy etc. What are your thoughts? It looks pretty cool to use on eg hikes.
I’m pretty pleased with it, the app is very easy to use, and takes very little time. You start recording a trip, take a few photos along the way, then finish recording, pick the best photos, and create a video. The lack of customisation is a feature more than anything.
What bugs were they talking about?
Thanks will give it a try! Bugs were that it would only record a straight line for the trip or that the entire trip was lost when they didn’t have reception during the trip.
Cell reception, or GPS reception? Obviously it won’t work without GPS reception, it works just fine with no cell signal.
Without cell reception. People said they lost entire trips that way.
Took my 4 year old to the Dinosaurs of Patagonia exhibition at The Papa this morning. It’s fucking spectacular. I wasn’t really expecting all that much from it, and it is fairly tame to begin with, but the final exhibits are pretty amazing. Kid loved it too.
Oh shit, I forgot about the dinosaurs! I missed the last time there were dinosaurs in Te Papa, have been waiting for this one! Will have to go this coming week!
Thanks for the tip! Do you reckon it would be good for a 11 and 8 yo?
Yeah I think we’re going to take our 8 yo later in the holidays as I think she’ll like it too.
It’s muggy af, why am I cooking stuff?
Yuuup, more cooking happening over here too! Lechon Pork Belly, so good.
I’ve been cooking stuff too and indeed it was very warm. Perhaps turn on the AC if you have that?
I compromised and spent the rest of the afternoon lying on the sofa under the ceiling fan with a good book.
Chilling at home, nothing much going on, wish I had some more friends to go to the bar, house party or a restaurant etc though
Looking at the forecast here… I guess a Wet Christmas is about as close as we’ll get to a White Christmas??
I wasn’t brave enough to check!
Still need to wrap gifts… And do other chores. Wanted to go outside but it’s raining :(
I’ve realized I basically got my partner junk food for christmas. I hope he enjoys it.
That’s basically my Christmas day plans.
Junk food makes a good present, I think.
