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?

I'm back in NZ from the UK visiting rellies, having some crazy times due to the weather. Nice & hot in Wgtn & Chch, now in Dunedin there's snow on the hills.

Anyway, here's a pic of the Kaikouras I took while sitting at roadworks.

Wow, just checked metservice and it's 4 degrees in Dunedin! I'm here in a T-shirt because it's over 15 degrees here! (actually 20 inside)

Nice photo too, I see snow on those hills too!

Only a few hours left at Armageddon. It's been pretty fun.

Seeing all the cosplayers and other folks dressing up was rad, but we've more or less just sat in our booth and didn't check out much event-wise.

Ah, I saw on the website there were a bunch of guest speakers from various franchises, you didn't go to any?

Not my cup of tea, so I mostly just kept to the booth. Would have been pretty decent for any Lord of the Rings fans though.

Ah yip fair enough!
