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?
Later start today, hope everyone is OK.
Got a surprise yesterday, went to the local Warehouse only to find it is now selling fresh veges, fruit, and kitchen pantry items.
Quite a big saving over supermarket prices, and the fresh stuff looks high quality. Looked up on how they were operating this and learned they are concentrating on local suppliers. I’d say their typical prices are 25-30% lower than the supermarkets. Bought 3L of olive oil for $30, in the supermarket that’d be $45.
That’s definitely good news, we need more competition in the supermarket sector. Is it just the warehouse extra stores doing this?
No, ours is a “normal” Warehouse. We’re fairly remote, so a long way from the big stores.
Intend to do a real check next week, especially the fresh stuff.
I’m doing some repairs on a friend’s kayak at the moment, and doing some shopping while the resin dries on a patch of cloth.
Next is to sand the edges and blend it into the rest of the hull, then paint, and more sanding.

I trimmed the butt fur for my long haired guinea pig and it looks so bad. Cutting hair is way harder than expected.
It sure is. We used to trim the butt fur on our dog Becki he would run through bushes and get all sorts stuck to it and then bring it onside. Scissors would struggle to cut it, and the scissors would never be the same again. We bought dog clippers, but that made it harder. They were useless.
He’s a lot older now and doesn’t do the same frolicking so it hasn’t been as much of an issue.
