Aotearoa Daily Kōrero 11/3/2024
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?
Anyone get up to anything exciting on the weekend?
On Saturday I took a couple of kids on a bike ride, including my 3yo who is now zooming around on a bike with pedals and no training wheels.
We went to the new playground at Frank Kitts park yesterday, which was busy but not crowded.
Also over the weekend, in case you missed it, we added the !rocketlab@lemmy.nz community based on the results of the survey that were mostly supporting the proposal. Subscribe if you're interested!
I haven't had a chance to do a post with all the results of the survey, but I have it on my list to do.
Woah, no training wheels at 3yrs is impressive!
My weekend wasn't exciting unfortunately, was getting over food poisoning so mostly stayed in my bed. Although I did manage to squeeze in a bit of AoE 2, checking out some of the Rise of Rome campaigns which was fun.

It's crazy! The older kids both learnt at 5, but my 3yo is super tall and has been on a balance bike since about 18 months old, spent a bit of time with the old bike from one of the older kids with pedals removed to get used to the bike, then threw on the pedals and just like that, easy peasy. I think they just got exposed to it all at a young age, and happen to be tall which helps, definitely not typical!

Uh hope you're feeling better. When you said Rise of Rome I thought you meant Rise of Nations for a second. Used to play LAN games with my flatmates when I was younger. That was a great game, it would be interesting to see if it holds up today.
I did a bunch of cleaning around the house, which normally would be a bit of a drag, but it's made a big difference. Got the jif out to sort out scuff marks on skirting boards, that sort of thing.
Also saw Dune 2 - loved it. Was a bit condensed at the end, but in a way that I actually appreciated. Battle scenes that last too long start to get a bit boring (looking at you Marvel Universe).
I watched Anthony Joshua vs Francis Ngannou on Saturday then went to a local fighting event and watched 15 amateur fights. The next day I watched ufc 299. I watched so many fights I'm getting bored of watching people fight.
